    Still planning on doing the arms and more height to the front but I mounted the rest of the wheels and drove around.
    Considering going to a different rear end ratio there was a definite lack of power with the taller tire

              Sweet! E36 M3 front springs have the same diameter as E30. That should give you a bit more height I think. You're going to need some underbody protection for sure!

                Well my transmission that had been on its last leg for along time (300k+miles) decided to lose all gears except for fourth about 30 miles out of town yesterday. Limped it home and now looking for a tranny. Also hopefully will find a 4.10 LSD to help with the larger tires. Also have a 2.93lsd I need to sell or trade.

                      Finally got a tranny and installed it so its back on the road
                      Also put some tape on the fenders so I can see where the rear tires rub

                      Quick trim, once the bumper is on you can't tell

                              Working on getting some video, got lazy on sat and was kinda hot out. This weekend will be nice and ill bring a go pro.
                              It's really fun to drive. Tires don't rub anywhere. I really need to change the rear end to a 4.10 LS so if anyone has one pm me and let's make a deal.
