    Five lug swap completed!!

    Finally got the car washed up and photo ready, so I took it up to the cul-de-sac up the street and snapped a few quick pics with a point and shoot for your viewing pleasure.















    The car was on jack stands for quite some time getting a complete suspension overhaul (read: upgrade). Here are the specifics:

    E30 M3 five lug suspension
    E39 Style 5's [17x8] with 74.1 to 72.6mm hub reducing rings
    Falken Ziex ZE-912 tires, 215/40/17 all around
    TC Kline dual adjustable coilovers 550 Front / 700 Rear
    TC Kline monoball rear shock mounts
    Vorshlag camber plates
    Treehouse Racing eyeball arms
    Suspension Techniques 22mm/19mm sway bars w/ adjustable endlinks
    AKG 75d subframe bushings
    AKG 75d diff bushing
    TMS delrin trailing arm bushings
    Ireland Engineering weld on rear camber toe/adjusters
    EBC GreenStuff brake pads with SS brake lines, (caliper rattle clips removed in the front)

    Also, I rolled the fenders and replaced the control arms and tie rods. What used to be a pretty much stock 318is is now a corner carving beast.

    R3v criticism, questions, and comments always appreciated. (Yes I know the shadowline is missing).

    Should have refinished them first. Needs better quality pictures too. Nice setup though.

          If lucky, the E36 will die peacefully, in its natural habitat, and be given the prestigious honor of donating its parts to an E30

                Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

                      You can grind down part of the clip so they will fit or use spacers. Nice job!

                        It's a C43, I don't have any pictures when I was doing the install, but I have a few pics when I completed the retrofit in this thread: http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=116616

                          I tried with a dremel but that got old really quickly so I just took 'em out. I will probably get 5mm spacers at some point in the future.
