      ABE

      only problem with the foglight thing is i dont have the valance behind my front apron that the foglights mount too....unless theres another way to mount the foglights with out having the valance then im screwed...maybe ill just get foglight blanks? if i can install those without the valance.....after i drive the car for a little while im gonna see how i like the rear ride height if i want it lower i might take out the rear spring pads...im just worried about ride quality and handling if i take the spring pads out......and yes i like 4 door e30's...i see way too many coupes

        VERY nice jeremy! Glad it all came together - I told you it would :)

        Don't worry about the back - it'll settle. It looks awesome as is, but expect it to drop a quarter inch or more. Don't go taking out the rear spring pads - spend your time on shit that matters :)

        The car looked sick before, I'm looking forward to seeing it now! We'll get you a valance so you can put fogs in too - clean up the bumpers and whatnot, make em fit right. Your exhaust is custom, you can probably tie it up higher, we'll take a look at it when you swing by.

        PS - that's a 75, I asked him when I was there. Nice car, lots of potential.

        Rock on Jeremy - only 9 more days!

          yea im not worried about the back i mean it could be lower but i think its fine...

          and man if i can get a valance and fix up the bumpers that would kick ass if i could reinforce the breyton a little bit that would help alot because its only being held on by a couple clips and me driving around with the front so low im very worried its gonna be taken right off by the first pot hole or train track i come across...but yea it would be awesome to fix up the front end a little bit and make it more secure......and the exhuast yea its custom and it does have alot of play one of the rubber hangers keeps slipping off and the rubber hanger that is closest to the cat (farthest from the muffler) is pretty much toast im sure if i bought a new one it would pull the exhuast up quite a bit


          and yes 9 days thank god its felt like a year already DAMN

            Very nice looking. Love the wheels. I don't know why others don't like them. I think they look very clean. But then again, I'm a sucker for 5 spokes.

              Looks so much better man! Nice job.

              I'd take out the rear spring pads, it'll sit damn near perfect if you do that. Easy 15 minute job too.

                Let it settle first mattchew - the car has been sitting for a while, we had the rear in the air for a while, etc. If he STILL doesnt like it, then maybe...

                    Yes, your definitely going to scratch your catalytic converter, and your exhaust.

                      Not enough to notice, from what people on here have experienced. They aren't that thick - I really doubt it'll make enough of a difference.

                          I don't like the practice of removing the spring pads, I'm just not that confortable with the idea of the springs just sitting against the bare metal of the car.

                              Slip a section of garden hose around the top and bottom coil. Problem solved and your car is 1/2" lower in the rear.

                                You won't notice ANY difference in ride comfort or handling by removing your spring pads.

                                The car looks a ton better now with rims and lowering. Not a fan of the rims, but they are still a lot better than stockers.

                                I think your car has a lot of potential, with different rims, fogs, and if you fixed all the misaligned body panels. The color of the car and the body kit are just awesome.
