      Beautiful car but it looks like you've got a little reverse rake going on there..
      Drop the front a bit more.

        You might be right ... but I'm not sure how to fix it without going to coilovers and a lot of expence... car drives great for now, so I tink I'll just live with it

                  WTF street do you live on? E30, 240z, 911, and I think I see an Austin Healey in the back.

                        as far as reverse rake goes - that stance does kind of flirt with it. maybe it's the angle of the photo.

                        rear spring pads are cheap and easy as cake to install. They come in different thicknesses and can be stacked.

                        bringing the rear up a touch might even it out. less drop in the back would also [theoretically] equal less stress on wheel bearings and improve tire wear.

                          They're actually mine...

                          89 325i touring
                          87 911 3.2
                          '71 240Z (I've had this one for 24 years, mod'd for track days, lots of fun to drive)
                          91 318is - winter car
                          the white car is a 57 MGA - usually there's a cover on it, but I was doing a little tinkering, hopefully it's mobile next spring
                          still in the garage is my silver '71 240z that I turned into a convertible
                          at the side of the house is a 67.5 2000 Datsun Roadster - waiting to be restored.
                          The garage is deciving - I can fit 3 cars inside with no issues (glad I'm not into caddy's) The rest is in the driveway during the summer, and in borrowed (begged) garages in the winter... I need a bigger garage!!

                              You have an amazing collection. Excellent taste. I would love to see the 240z convertible (more pics of everything really). Looks like you repaired the touring quite well.
