Nice work once again Alvin! Bring out the 318is this friday. So it was the rear bearing that was making the noise and not the diff right?

Yup E9 will be out this Friday but the e30's exterior might be also done by Friday. Today most of the dents are pulled. The rear spoiler , new lip, lower bumper and fog covers are being painted. by Thursday wet sanding ;)

Yup it was the right rear and I had both sides replaced. Its all nice and quiet now. Next is I need to buy a stock AFM. Mine seems to be out of tune.

I had the suspension installed. Im using Eibach springs and the front seems to be higher than I expected. Should i cut a coil or replacing the spring pads would help? Thinking of another inch drop at least. Would that be half or 1 coil?

[Danny]

Cut a coil, its really not a terrible thing to do, fuck what these guys have to say.

[atan88]

Lol will have it cut by today. New IS sideskirts are also on its way.

[hugh jass]

Oh ok good. I was hoping it was something easy like a diff fluid change but at least you got the pita rear bearings out of the way.

Give the springs a few days to settle. If they are still to high for you then try removing all the spring pads first before resorting to cutting a coil. My 1st 318is that got totalled had a reverse rake and my 2nd one is sitting abit high and also has a reverse rake. Im going to remove my spring pads and I also ordered a set of 15mm drop hats to try and cure this problem. If worse comes to worse ill cut a coil with ya! LoL
