I hear ya, Im on the same coast as you. :)
When I bought my 318 in my sig last year this month it was just suppose to be my DD.
I was like well I will do the brakes and call it a day. Well I started ordering brakes and got a box of this stuff 3 days later.
The box that came a week later for the rear wasnt any better.
Now look at the damn thing in my sig. haha. I know exactly how it all goes down.

Nice start off! And I love the tread, my favorite tire hands down. The look of the tread is second to none IMO.~ Puch Cafe. ~ Do business? feedback ~ Check out my leather company ~

Updates! Well like most projects it took a bit more work (monnies) that originally planned but thats ok because it was well worth it in the end...i think anyway.
I went to my buddies new place/garage (e30rapidic) to get some assistance. I wanted to get this done as soon as possible so many steps are left out here is a few.
Here is the front end about out. In the end I wound up replacing the outer tie rods and the front sway links. I needed them anyway and I was there anyway...its just money. :)
We didnt want to fak around with the m3 bushings install so I just dropped it off a a local machine shop. Removal of CAB and reinstall new CAB with control arms. One of the gland nuts holding on the Bilstein HDs wanted to be a PITA so we had the shop do that too. The best $45 spent that day!
Rears in.
Waiting to be run...HARD!
A rare pic of his cabrio.
Its coming together...
During this time I just needed to get things done so no pix of all said installed but it looked so nice seeing all new hardware. I think there is nothing better topping off a nice buildup than a new Roundel
Unsettled and painfully dirty. Its just dayum cold to do anything outside.
The stance is exactly where I wanted it. The wheels are dead on and the few miles I put on it is nice and tight. I will get better pix when I can wash the car without the bucket freezing over!
Cheers!

I put some pix on the members rides section but I wanted to add to this thread. At least they are different angles. Now that the suspension has settled down, I think its right on...for me anyways.
Next is to give some attention to the paint. I did try a small area on the truck with some wetsanding (1k, 1.5, and 2k) then polished. I was amazed on how well this worked. I get some pix of this soon.

i like your wheel fitment, thats literally spot on. aggressive enough to look, but not so ridiculous that it hurts performance.My feedback:

I would kill for my coupe to be that clean! I literally got online today looking to see an update, Sunday was nice enough to wash cars so I figured you would be on it! Too bad it hasn't stopped raining since then.
Epic work bro, looking fantastic as always! Let me know if you need paint assistance!
