Has any1 done any research into gettin hydraulics or air bags fitted to their 3??

All i want is a simple set up that allows the front and rear to be lowered. Not worried about the corners dippin, or side to side, just the front droppin then the rear.

Was just wondering if any1 knows anything about it as you chaps accross the pond seem to be modifyin ur 3's a lot more than us boys tyhis side of the water!!!

yeah its pretty easy all you need to do it get cylinders for the rear and strut bags for the front and then the rest is the same as any other kit.....

I've got airbags on my mx. It's not cylinders on the back or whatever is bags all the way around. I bought my kit from a guy local to me but he purchased it from chassis tech. The whole thing is really easy to install. A buddy and I started ripping it apart on a friday night after work and by around lunchtime the next day it was together. email me at millerjaz443@suscom.net if you have any questions.

im just about to order me some. Got a quote of £1300 including shipping which is real good considerin it had front, rear, side to side and independant wheel control!! Going for air bags now instead of hydraulics.
But thanks anyways!!
Much appreciated!!

innit! I cant wait!!!

Probably be about another month til i get em, as shippin takes 2 weeks, and i am just gettin the last of the cash up together!!!

By the time i have them fitted though, the car will be off the road

Hopefully only for a while though!
