    Suspension update

    So, these weren't what came in this box.... I wonder where they went.



    maybe here?



    sorry, too dark to take anything decent. I will update tomorrow after I clean it up and get some sunlight.

    Update: Here are just a few pictures, I need a better backdrop than my house. I should be painting the valance this weekend, so maybe some more on sunday. I still have to send some over to SEAM too (need to thank them for the springs)




    yes that is a REAL reiger lip



    IE stage 3 springs, bilstien sports, no spring pads. I also installed poly boot covers and installed 325i throttle body. I noticed my control arm bushings are ripped, and the rear shock mounts are jello, so they are coming. Still lots to do to this car.

    I thought your old drop suited your car more.

        a lot of it is the way it is sitting.. I can easily fix it in about 20 mins by adding spring pads. My goal was not to lower it more, but to stiffen it, which I did.

            EtaSport....what are the new springs? I must be blind but the coils look like an H&R sport. What were the old springs? Car looks good, btw. It's a motherfucker to keep a black E30 clean

              Well, I was hoping to get some new pictures, but the reiger is going on tomorrow, so I'm waiting til then.

              Whats in now- IE stage 3 race springs, bilstien sports, no spring pads.
              What was in the box- Bavarian Autosports springs.

              It does sit level when looking from the side, I may add the rear spring pads to pick the back up some more.

                    Black center Fittipaldis. They were free. My dad bought them back in the 90s when he owned the car, and came with it when we re-purchased it. They have a different offset than ronals.

                    black cars are nice but yes, hard to keep clean.

                      Awesome pics, EtaSport!

                      I just can't get myself to like those wheels tho, they just don't do your car justice. Maybe if they weren't black in the centers, but I don't know.

                        looks great as always.

                        Your front lip looks extra glossy, did you recently have it painted?

                          I love it man, looks really sharp. I want to see those wheels w/out center caps.
