    Thanks for the recommendations guys!

    Drove the Cabby to the E30 Picnic this weekend. Top down the entire 3+ hours from Vancouver and about two hours on the way back before it started to spittle and I had to put the top up. Yes it was awesome. Except for the horrible sunburn on my forehead
    Got a garagistic front tower brace that I'm hoping will help with the flex in the convertibles, and then on the way back got some major slop in the front suspension that was pretty scary by the time I pulled into the driveway. Guess I need a tie rod end or something, I'll sort it out in a few days.







    At about 1,000 miles / 1,600km since purchase. Pretty happy so far!

      Do you still have the weight in the spare tire well?
      Looks low in the back.

      You'll want the lower chassis X brace to go with the strut tower brace to reduce flex.

        The x brace is totally worth it, it really does make a big difference.

          The spare and all that? Yeah. I noticed it is raked back too.

          Noted. I wasn't sure when I was at the Picnic if I wanted to spend the extra $250 so, you know. Start with the cheap brace and move on.
