Finally Lowered

[Axxe]

Before:



After some parts swapping:





IE Stage 3 springs
Boge sport front shocks (mint condition set from parts car, hope they last a month)
Bilstein HD rear shocks (parts car)
Sparco Bar
200kms since Sunday, and the ride is overall slightly stiffer than stock over small bumps, but over big bumps the shocks just can't handle the spring rates and it gets really bouncy. Konis are coming as soon as I get paid.

Get low get low get low... awwww skeet.

Awesome stuff. If you don't mind me asking what did you pay for your IE Stage 3s?

[RCWells]

it's a start. got to feel better too.

euro bumpers and a really thorough cleaning would really help.

FVCK - got camber?

Yea...I think I'm gonna need adjustable trailing arm bushings. I don't think I can handle eating thru tires while in college.

Maybe I'll just suck it up? lol

Looks nice. Can't wait to get my konis and ie stg 3s into my car! :D

big pimpin low 4 door looks good man clean it up and get more pics!

[Axxe]

I need to spend some time cleaning up the outside and hiding the few problem areas, and a give it a good wax. Looked 100x better last summer after a good wax.

IE's I got of the E30tech GB, $225 US. I also ordered rear subrame and trailing arm bushings, but haven't installed those yet.

\I dont know how all you people manage to munch tires so fast.
I'm running the same amount of Neg. Camber if not more than some of you, and I get almost even wear across my tires.


If you drive the car, it will wear even.
If you cruise in the car, you'll wear the insides.

My. $.02

Very, very true. My car was slammed to hell last year:



...and I got perfectly even wear across all 4.

[Digitalwave]

Haha, that ride has to be terrible.

My wear is also quite even

[EtaSport]

My wear was pretty even with bavauto springs. After installing IEs the rear is starting to wear a little faster. But my 18 year old bushings have 380 thousand miles on them, they are a bit weak too.

Im going to try and get an offset bushing for the rear. My car bounces a bit on stiffer bumps with Bilstiens. I think some of it is due to the progressive nature of the IEs, but those boges arent going to help much at all.

[Axxe]

That's what I expected, but it is acually quite good. Can't wait for the Konis though.

[Sean]

Well, i don't know what the outcome will be. I keep thinking it'll wear down real fast, but I guess I'll see.

[bmwm3n528]

The insides of all 4 of my tires are just gone, I don't understand where it's all coming from...
