        It would be very hard/impossible for you to get the same stance with just a set of springs.

        His engine weighs down his front end much more than yours.

            Actually the weight difference is negligible, the m30 weighs something like 27 lbs more than the m20 and mine is pushed relatively far back in the engine bay. I decided not to run A/C, and that eliminated right around 50 lbs. I need to get the car corner weighted to see exactly how nose heavy it is though.

            It's on Ground Controls btw, with 1.5" shortened housings.

                          Is that the stroker from your E34? Looks wicked. Very clean swap!

                            Thanks, yeah it is the same motor from the e34. It isn't quite as tidy as I'd like it to be quite yet, but I've been so busy trying to get the thing roadworthy that I haven't had time to start the nit-picky stuff yet.


                            Oh and I found my center cap tool so here's a picture with the caps on after a quick wash

                              Yea, thats why I mentioned the wight difference but if he is running GC's than Im gonna take back my statement. His stance can be achieved with some GC's Im sure.

                              Man your car is so dope bro! I just looked at this thread for the 3rd time!
