    I managed fixed the rear camber problem. Now it just needs to be lowered, so no poking fun at that, yet.

      What was wrong with it? Or did you just raise the rear back up?

        Nope, left it the height the same.

        I pulled a dumb ass move working late at night, tried long day, doing it by myself w/ 2 jacks, all the normal excuses ;) ya know.

        Anyway, when I put the subframe in, the moment I saw threads coming through the bushing I put the nut on to hold it in place, I forgot to go back and put the washer on. Well, the nut pulled the metal sleeve out of the bushing and the drivers side of the subframe lowered its self 3-4 inches. Of course causing the camber to be all jacked up.

        Easy 20 minute fix. Now about 95% of the tire touches instead of 60%. Although I'm still going to add a rear camber kit, because the back of the car needs to go another inch, inch 1/2 lower

            Thats what I said. Unfortunately the ebay place he bought them from will only do x8s all around, or x8 up front, x9.5 out back, not x9.5 all around. I'll be forced to buy two sets so I can do x9.5s all around, so if anyone wants to pay $600 for 18x8s all around, let me know.

              No they'll do it, they just won't guaranty that it won't rub, fit or whatever. But you can do it. So, DO IT!

                  That car looks unbelievable. Someday, I have to get an m3. Your garage looks pretty sweet too.

                    That's pretty funny. I am glad it was something simple and easy to fix. Definately got to bring it back down some!

                      I laughed at myself when I spotted that, glad it was a simple fix.

                      But the more I look at it, I think a trailing arm it bent now, too much toe out in the rear. Damn it, more work...

                      I'll lower it and post some pics later.

                        Dang, toe out now? If anything, you should have a little toe in, but definately no toe out even at stock height.

                            Those wheels are one of my faves. Car is looking really good, and yeah, it's gonna look better once you get it dropped proper. Good stuff. :up:
