      Looks great Nick! Still my favorite BMW color.

        Thanks buddy!


        Got the top hats on over the new springs and E36 M3 control arm bushings set into the brackets. Ready for installation!




        Geez, I forgot how much you have to pry to get the rear springs out! The first side took about an hour and the second side took about 5 minutes once the wheel was off. lol, the learning curve leveled off REAL quick.





        Stock vs Eibach






        I'll grab some finished pics today. The ride is awesome. CAB's make a huge difference, especially when upgrading from torn-beat-down-nasty-old ones. :D

                  Next time I am up in Portland we'll have to go on a drive/photoshoot. :D

                  Calypso looks better and better to me every day. By far my favorite OEM color.

                              it's a shame you're contemplating letting it go, it was a great find.

                              with that said, pm me with a ballpark figure.
