good from far, but far from good

Hmm interesting I got Koni sport adjustable in all four corners with Gc coils 450/650 I wonder how it will ride. Then again I'm m30 swapped so I need a little bit stiffer ride.

im sure yours will be a good setup. i got this car a little before winter and ive only driven this car for a month now with this setup.

going from blown/cut stock springs to these is quite a dramatic change, maybe im just not used to a stiff ride yet. also every bushing in this car is poly, some of which the P.O installed when the swap was done. so thats going to add to stiffness/vibratons too.

Lolol I did the same poly all the way.. same with gutted interior. My cars in bits all over the house though hahaha so it will be a while until i get to see how my suspension hold up.

I did poly bushings in the rear, and it's really not bad, barely a noticeable difference, if any, honestly. I'll second what nando said, get some Konis in the rear, and your ride will probably improve. I've never had Konis, but based on what I've read, they offer a much better ride quality than the Bilsteins.

Does anyone do poly control arm bushings? I threw a set in for the hell of it. Was gonna go poly sway bar bushings but didn't have $$ so I got oem and some new end links

[dirtbag30]

my CAB's are AKG poly. like i said every bushing is poly.

im kindof at a loss to what i should even do with this car.

after the roof im finding more and more bondo on the car.

theres a pretty good patch in front of the passenger rear tire that looked funny up close so i took off the rear panel from inside the car, and you can tell that it was dented in and replaced and filled with this crap.

basically lost all hope on having a nice car when the chassis is so rough.



what would you do?

Kill the PO.

[ThatOneEuroE30]

Sand the car down buy good quality bondo and fix it properly and get a respray. Don't wanna sound like a douche but idk why you even care it's a 20 some year old car it's gonna get dents. Unless it's a m3 no one is gonna care about it either. My car was the same way covered in bondo and shitty bondo work to.

no offense taken, i dont know why i care either, i see SO many clean e30s, and i just want one. haha

but in all reality im just going to hoon my car and not worry about it. if i think about it i got a free swapped car so i shouldn't be complaining too much.

You sound like a douche. Not everyone shares your ridiculous sentiment that M3s are the only cars worth bringing back to their former glory.

Bondo doesn't hurt any car it's really only the purist that care. Most people if it's done properly will never notice there's bondo on there car. And m3's aren't the only car to bring back. Seen my build thread makes that statement redundant. I was saying a pristine m3, or Shelby gt350 those are the types of cars you freak out about when it's covered in bondo.

[dirtbag30]

i would much rather have dents vs. bondo.

In this case the po filled in a dent with body filler. its pointless.
Even if it is done perfect its still ugly like a girl with makeup.

[ThatOneEuroE30]

Idk to each his own. Bondo doesn't bother me one bit. It's pointless though to put bondo on panels that can easily be replaced. That's just being cheap IMO.
