Stopped for a photo last Saturday somewhere north of Santa Barbara while fueling up.
It was a good trip - car had lot sof a power when I wanted it.
However, by the time that I got down to San Diego, I had a LOT of wear on my rear sidewalls
Now the task is to stiffen up the rear suspension.
I have Bilstein Touring shocks, that my aunt installed approx ~100k ago.
If that's the culprit, a pair of Billy Sports should probably set me right ,as I have ZERO problems in the front..
(Those are Billy Sports struts paired Eibach prokit springs).
Anyhow at the moment driving the car has become very impractical.
I'm actively looking for a free(?) set of bottle caps to throw on just so I could use the car with the peace of mind until I can afford to fix the suspension.
Cary mentioned that some stiff H&R racers would do the trick paired with some fat spring pads in the rear.
If anyone in SD has some bcaps with tires or 14" or 15" 5-lug wheels that are taking up space at their place, I being the broke student that I am would surely love to have them! :up:

For now, I'm thinking of doing the following:
- Stiffer springs, will probably entail dropping it slightly more
- Touch up paint on front fender, bumper, center panel
- Authentic French Smiley Headlamps from my good friend in France
- Natur iS leatherette Sport seats
- Install E30 M3 CABS (have been procrastinating this for a several years now)
- New front speakers (these barely get any sound...they suck)
- Rear Headrests (still on the fence about it)
That's probably about it. My biggest concern is to turn it back into a fully capable "drivers car".
This serious rubbing issue in the rear is taking away from the car's fun.
Danke.
Yeah, I almost flew down to pick it up with him too. It's super clean.
Thank you! I enjoy the subtle amount of lip they have, nice to look at from afar.
