        Had a couple people interested in the race springs already, will only sell them as a set front and rear, less than 10k miles
        I will post up here when I'm ready to let them go, wanna make sure I like the big setup first

                      Tires came in today,

                      mounted one to check clearance

                      Tight fit but no rubbing issues


                      Tried the front just for fun, it fits just barely rubs the inner fender plastic when you turn the wheel, the front still needs the wider e46 arms, extended tie rods and a little more height

                        No one makes this car anymore. The government won't allow them, normal people won't buy them. So it's up to us: the freaks, the weirdos, the informed. To buy them, to appreciate them, and most importantly, to drive them.

                              no, the e36 front springs are a different diameter and wont fit in an e30 perch

                                we used to take our cars that were no longer street worthy and run them thru the woods.
                                street signs were installed underneath, radiators were relocated on top of the roof, torsion bars [if applicable] were preloaded and heavy springs installed.4x4 were used as rebound blocks and if a low rear was available it was thrown in.
                                windshield popped out and windows rolled down. snow tires all around.
                                cooler for beer bolted to the floor.
                                cars were taken through the woods and on dirt bike tracks and trials.
                                tons of fun.
                                good luck with your project.
