Few updates on whats been done.

All trims removed and the entire car has been color sanded and buffed. Next is to remove the struts and replace the spring pads hoping to lower the front a bit more. Install new IS side skirts and redo the interior. Install the MD chip and then enjoy my new daily driver. I also bought a new set of 16' Alpina wheels ;) so I might resell my RS003. Ill post it for $2500 with tires including a 5th wheel in gold as a spare. Wheels are all in perfect condition and tires are Yokohama AVID (rare) 205/50/16. Pm me if anyones interested. I prefer a local sale. :) Thanks

Was this the car in Oakland?Nice car either way.

Yup its been sitting out in the same lot for 3 years

Where did you go to get your dents pulled? I have a few in my car that I want gone. Including when my sister closed the garage door on the top of my car . How much did you pay? And if you did everything yourself I now feel like an idiot.

It had a lot of dents and ripples in every panel. Its cost around 6 bills.

When you get teh Sideskirts installed, tell me what you payed to get them installed. I got some skirts, and want to have them professionally done.

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?

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
