an update :)

BTW if anyone is looking for the front strut assemblies from my 89, let me know. The strut/spring assemblies from my 84 are going on the 89 since they already have the H&R/bilsteins installed, so if you want my 89's with stock iS springs and factory struts (they still perform decently well) let me know.

Just making sure you know '84 strut assemblies have no provisions for ABS...

Yeah - good call :) I ended up saving the strut assemblies from the 84...I'll throw them up on ebay or something since they're pretty clean.


At this point my car's been pretty tastefully enhanced IMHO:

• New radiator (old one sprung a leak)
• Brembo cross-drilled rotors
• S/S brake lines
• remanufactured rear calipers
• H&R springs (approx 1.5" drop)
• Bilstein Sports
• Treehouse Racing CAB's
• Alignment to e30 M3 spec
• 4 new Falken ZE-912's mounted on the black basketweaves from my '84 Hennarot car

Pics of the car are below. I think the black vintage rims really make the car look badass, especially with the newly-lowered stance. Sorry for the bad picture quality...these were all taken with my blackberry.

Hey man, sorry forgot about this thread. I'm in Canterbury CT, it's about an hour or so from Hartford.

Car is looking nice.

Car looked super clean, think it looks better with the original colored weaves. Nice find.

@ Mike30 - thanks for the feedback. I may put the original weaves back on for winter time.

@ ILoveMPower - cool man :) We should try and get a round-up of e30 folks in CT. Maybe somewhere local?

nice man. Yeah, I am from haddam, CT doing my first E30 build right now. Im makin a build site so Ill let you know when that is up to speed. We should rally up some E30's when mine is done. Manchester Hooters anyone?
