The only application I can see wanting that much height is for offroad. I do not see strut length being a limiting factor here.
With my GC Koni setup, I still have several inches of positive height, before I've maxed out the damper length. My car is not slammed either, it's similar in height to the BMW literature pictures of Mtech II cars.
Regardless, sorry for hijacking this thread with talks about suspension.

Sucks to hear about the rocker but at least you caught before it got lodged somewhere.
holy moly, that must've been a harrowing week.
Ride height looks even better to me too. Sounds like you're liking the set up! Psyched to see what you ordered...

Yep, new owner here. Car's doing just fine. Dunno if i want to put in the effort of a thread for my boring daily...
Things i've done in the last month:
Oil change (kinda sparkly...)
Valve adjustment (still noisy AF, probably just time for a fresh head)
New PCV hose
New front pads/rotors, resurfaced rear rotors, new fluid
All 4 brake lines, as one was damaged
Replaced and rekeyd trunk lock with central locking mechanism (trunk didnt work with central locking prior)
New side mirror switch, so those work now
New pass window motor
Pressure washed engine bay and underside (grosssssssssssss)
Built reverse switch wire for reverse lights
Plan is to do power steering soon (leaking bad), and then trans output shaft seal (leaking) along with all the rear bushings soon, as they clunk pretty bad.
Also waiting for a set of front strut housings from 2mAn to replace the non-abs, cracked housings currently on the car. Basic stuff.
Overall the car's been great and I'm happy to be in an e30 again. Too bad I'm also BMW-disabled and can't stop thinking of swaps for it...Last edited by dasmanschaft012; 03-31-2019, 09:34 PM.We're in deep now boys

This car was a great pickup for me, and Im sure Julien (dasmanshaft) is going to enjoy it, especially as he does the changes to make it his. And if he doesnt there isnt anything bad about the car.Simon
