    Picked up some new stuff

    Tonight I bought 4 16 inch Borbet Type C wheels with Falken tires and all 4 bilsten sport shocks for $450 total from a mechanic who was parting out a car. I have also recently ordered an Ireland Engineering exhaust. I can't wait to buy some springs and get everything on the car.

    NICE! :D

    Can't wait to see them on your ride. What are you getting as far as springs. You E30 looked really clean after detailing, but it needed to be lowered. Looks like it's finally coming through. No more 4x4 :P

          that was a "screaming deal" .... nice work... you still need to get springs tho to lose the dakar rally look.... but it could be hot rallied out

                      I think I'm going to go with ie stage 3 springs.

                      I painted them red with Testors Metal Red Flake spray paint. I love the all red tails, but the tail lights might look better smoked on a red car.

                        Those shocks are beautiful! Just installed my rear set with M3 springs. Will be doing the front coming saturday. The rear tires are right up to the edge of the fender roll! The difference is drastic even for just being the rear. The rear wheel well gap is gone and the front still has 3 inches or more of gap to go :?

                          I hate you guys and your amazing deals...

                          Chester, you are still going to have a good amount of fender gap in the front with M3 springs.

                            Those wheels will look "awesome" on your car mate! 1 question where's your number plate surround? Or is that the style you go for?
