Thanks man, i appreciate the compliments and I just spent some time with the buffer. I didn't do all the proper steps ie clay, wax, sealer etc but a quick polish cleaned it up pretty well. Once I get it back I'm going to attempt to give it a proper paint correction, lets see how it come out. This is the door after I was done with the quick polish



Iv gotten flack for the "e" but it's quirky and it makes it more my car if that makes sense. glad someone else likes it.

Here are a couple picture of the m20 thats going in.







They were nice enough to "paint" my valve cover haha, that's coming off and painted properly.

What springs and what size wheels? I'm just curious cause I'm running bilstein sports and h&r springs with a 16x8 et20 and my car seems lower. I was curious what springs cause yours sit higher

[E30 Driver]

The springs are actually bilsteins, but idk what the spring rates are. Didn't even know bilsteins made springs till I saw these. The kits called the Bilstein BTS kit and from what I was told, this is what the spec e30 guys used to run for a few years before they switched to something newer. The wheels are 15x8 et25. I was a little disappointed with the drop but from where it was it made a big difference. Since that one side on picture was taken, I've since removed the lower spring bad and it sits a bit lower but I'll eventually get different springs for the rear at least.

What kind of a drop those give?

Thanks! I was thinking about using some amber tint spray but I found a guy on here in fact selling them pretty cheap. One is more yellow than the other so it bothers me a little bit but I didn't pay that much so it's okay

[QUOTE=E30 Driver;3791527]What kind of a drop those give?

I think there marketed as a 1.25 drop I had around a 3 inch gap on stock springs ill post close ups tonight or tomorrow but the rears have like an 1.5 height now and the fronts only 1 inch they look great and with the bilstein sports the car really handels great!
