Coilover conversion time!

You removed a bumpstop from inside a nitrogen pressurized strut? Please explain.

[5Toes]

What paint was used on strut assemblies?

[CHIF8008]

your cars paint looks soo soft!

[Balleristic31]

Yes, he did.

How hard is that to do?

[KenC]

Did you remove the bumpstops in the bilsteins yourself?

Yes, he did.

[KenC]

Looks great, as always.

OMG, what are those wheels?

Is that interior Lotus White? It looks "whiter."

[5spoke]

Fuck. That is gorgeous.

[ItSnOtAn M]

Looks great, as always.

Did you remove the bumpstops in the bilsteins yourself?

[CorvallisBMW]

In the front, yes. The back is nearly all the way up in that shot. It's settled out a bit, looks better on flat ground too.

[jasonsnoddy]

is that all the way down?

[ck_taft325is]

Nice. I want a vert now more than ever.

[CorvallisBMW]

this is the only pic I have currently. The car hasn't settled yet and it's on a sloped driveway, but you get the idea

Oh and I also fitted new tires, Continental ExtremeContact DW in 205/45r17. Spendy ($133/each) but they ride and grip infinitely better than the Pirelli Pzero Nerro I had on before.

Pics of the wheels with the blue calipers behind them!

I will get some as soon as I can, right now it's douching rain like a hurricane outside and is supposed to continue for the rest of the week. Hopefully I can get a few dry minutes to get it out of the garage and snap some pics. I'm happy with the blue, it matches the Alpina emblems in the Kopi center caps, and it's different. I've seen lots of yellow, red, green, etc but never blue before.

pics of new ride height? and you didn't shorten your strut tubes?

I did not shorten my strut tubes, i decided that with off-the-shelf Bilstien sports I'd be asking for real trouble if I did. Currently the car is at it's lowest setting and I'm pretty damn happy with the height. If I went any lower I'd have serious rubbing issues on the fenders while turning, and this car is too nice to risk messed up fender lips.

what led's are those in your license plate? i approve!

I got all the LED bulbs from:
