        How much suspension travel have you left? I did a test fit with my own wheels today and I'm on the bump stops on the rear and you look to be lower! Pic

        I thought this car was pretty much as good as it got when you have the RS' but it looks even better now (even if I'm not gone on the gold).

          To be honest I don't know but my shocks are really short to fit that height.

            Jim your car looks fantastic. Its a great reminder to me how good a clean E30 can look without a Tech1/2 kit or other.

            I always thought the gold centers didn't go well with Brilliantrot, but yours proves me wrong. Is the motorsport gold color a little less orange than otherwise?

                Thank you !

                They are small plastic plugs like those, I modified them to fit in the threaded holes.

                    As much as i think the e50s are stunning.. i think the RSs looked the best. You perfected the look. Being a wheel whore myself i dont blame you for switching it up though =)

                        I liked the RS's but I needed a change after owning 2 sets in a row.

                        I like my E50's ! They would fit nicely on an early 911. I'd like to buy one in a couple years if possible.

                                I worked on my E30 today !!

                                New shifter bushings, shift selector seal and selector joint.

                                I fixed my backup lights.

                                New transmission oil (Redline MT-90).

                                I also measured my shifter rod (220mm) so tomorrow I'll go to the machine shop with my UUC twisted 187mm DSSR to have it modified. Looks like my G260 is 15mm shorter than a standard G260.
