in the meanwhile, a pic:

what rear spoiler is that? It looks like the mtech2 without the bottom half... I kinda like it

It's made by a portuguese company, but i can't find any more info on it... Searching the name of the company on google returns nothing... Sorry
Personally i don't like it though, i'm getting rid of it soon

Nice work on the car.

e30s always have softer ride in the rear than the front - that's how they get the power down out of corners by making the car squat. The rear springs are also progressive, so they get firmer as the suspension travels.

My Eibachs + Bilstein B6s do the same thing.

Thanks!

Confortable, but a bit rigid. I did notice that the back was softer than the front, but nothing to worry about, you only notice it in bumps and such

Car was in the mechanic for 2 days. It was consuming way too much fuel, so i asked in the m42 subforums for opinions. The temp sensor was mentioned, and the mechanic found out that indeed it wasn't working properly. He put in a new one, let's hope that was the problem.

Other goodies while it was there: New bushings up front, suspension of the hood, beams were aligned and a skid plate was applied ;)

It looks very clean and much better with the new springs. Have they settled yet?

Here they are after 2 weeks or so:







Clearance is about 1/1 and a half finger on the front, and half a/1 finger in the back

Thank you! still need to get my hands on a performance chip... It still needs a little something
