    Fffffuuuuuuuu!

    Fuck K-Mac camber plates, fuck bushings and fuck three upper strut bolts instead of one! Now that thats out of my system I feel a bit better. Working on a complete suspension overhaul, got the 22mm front sway in, replaced the strut housings with ones from a 325 (I have an early 318i), new control arms with busings in those damn lolliepop looking fuckers, Bilstein struts are in, HR springs are in, and the camber plates are in. It took much longer than I expected to install actually. There were two of us working on the car with about 20 years combined working on cars and it was still a pain in the ass haha...

    But the fronts are done with the exception of the front sway bar end links dont seem to want to line up so I will have to look into that after work tmrw, along with installing the rear suspension I will also toss on the stud conversion and a few other things.

    End rant

            The only thing we did wrong was not have a bearing splitter handy or a press to get them back in. Other than that the big issues is with the actual design of the KMAC camber plates. Rather than being assembled as one piece there are actually four seperate bits that have to stack up and line up correctly in order for it to install. Its truly a pain in the ass if you have never done it before.

            About to go out and finish the front and then intall the rear, then perhaps weld up some seat brackets so I can actually drive this damn thing!
