call that the before picture. The picture from the the first day I got it.

Notice the Type T's, and the rear was way too low.

I hope to change it up some. Ordered new taller rear springs, about to buy some new wheels. I have sparco strut bar, JC chip, black kidneys, and a euro plate filler to all be installed Wednesday when my car is FINALLY returned to me.

Hopefully my car will be made my own, unique from others on R3V and better than it was when I bought it. Of course, it was pretty fucking sweet the way it was when I got it in August.

I'll repost on this thread when I get 225-50 tires on the new wheels, the suspension tweaked, and all the parts installed.

Cheers

If they are good springs in the rear then just add taller spring pads (10mm) or stack 2 on each side........I currently have a 5mm & 10mm stacked on each side w/ the Eibach PK.

[aaron_silva]

Chris, I believe he has Ground Controls, therefore, spring pads dont work.

I havent done much to my car yet. Its a 91325i cab, and yes for some reason it has metal bumpers, but is a 91, trust me. Ive been driving it for about 2 months now, and ive been just doing little things to it. It was really dirty when i first got it, and didnt have a top, so ive basically been cleaning alot. Still not done with cleaning yet. I have some mild plans for it, nothing crazy. (pics are links because they are too big to post.

Heres some pics of when i just got it:

Aaron is correct, I do have GC's. I could have used taller spring hats, but it would only increase height by 1/2 inch. And I need more adjustablility than that.

The story of my car since I've owned it:
I came a long way that's for sure. Over the last 7 years I've taken extremely good care of my car. I'm very meticulous, and replace old Oem parts and add performance goodies/goodies when I can.

I got the car right after I obtained my licence, and the rest is history;
Here's some pics. Too bad I don't have any bfore I lowered, added a IS lip, etc.
Pics over the last 7 years:
