Width of wheels is not enough to go by.
Need to take into consideration of wheel offset and tire size

This may be a noob question but is Airrex still the only kit available for our cars?

Haven't been following the 3IS much since my car is no longer modded but off the top of my head i know Airrex and air force.

The common trend i have notice is air force struts and accuair management, i personally had airrex

in addition to what juvi mentioned , d2 as well as UAS (bags and brackets that you can put onto coils like BC) make kits for the 3is.

To the OP what are the offsets? offsets are what going to determine if they will fit/tuck or not.

I recommend reading, reading and keep reading on the subject matter until you feel confident about how it works before jumping in, even if you are not going to be installing it yourself.

Huh, why ,what you mean?
You don't need to remove sway bar endlinks to install the bags.
You don't need to leave endlinks off with bags installed

Removing endlinks means you have no rear sway bar. Very dangerous to drive as it will drastically effect handling.


Take a look at my build thread. My endlinks were rubbing my Airrex bags very faintly. I did a very easy/free mod and gave myself that extra couple of mm clearance back that is needed.
