    This chick bought it all.



    BTW, if you want super low like above. You need to chop the strut tube down to the knuckle and pretty much weld the shock directly on that. but still use the tube supplied for added support.

    Oh nice. I'll look in to how the e36 guys did it. Sounds fun lol!

    Yeah. But the e36 fronts would be direct bolt in instead of a bunch of cutting and fab work.
    I did a e36 setup on a e30 with the universal rolling sleeve. It's a pain in the nuts.

    I imagine the front and rear would be the same.... The only thing e36 on my car is hub's and front shock tubes....

    You take the disc and trim it to size to fit within the strut housing. Then mark the location of the holes, drill, then press in the threaded studs. The extra steps he took were to make a set that are camber adjusted.

    Your gonna need a band saw and a press. I took mine to a local machine shop after marking the size/ hole location.

    I thought you just took the round plate that is supplied with the kit and made it smaller to the same size of the oem top plate. I don't understand the steps you did

    That's so you can setup where you want your wheels to sit. What I did was bought a extra plate. Cut it to the exact size of the oem top mount. Put it on the bag like normal and bolt everything into place. Mount your wheel and thn jack it up till its fully compressed. Once you do that you can see where the wheel will sit. Then measure from the wheel lip to the edge of the fender.
    Take that plate and transfer the measurements to the new plate and cut to size. Simple as that.
