New Parts and such (pics)

[MikesJo]

Is that a 318is you have? How much did the suspension cost you and where did you get it from if you don't mind me asking :). Also the e46 parts, do you need them? How much were those :D.

RSM's will not really stiffen your suspension, the shock does that. The RSM's themselves may be a little stiffer, which should make them last longer, I have the conv. ones with the support plate on my M3, a good upgrade, especially since I have broken a few before. Nice stuff anyway! I'm sure you will feel like it is a totally different car when it is all on. BILSTIEN's rock, you should invest in the solid, offset rear lower control arm mounts from the E30 M3, then it would make that much more difference in the handling.

Very very nice.... looks like your e30 is coimng along nicely.

Why can't you mount the rims until you lower the car?

Cool stuff though.

This is going to be a huge transformation for your car.

Its going to look awesome.

Oh, and your car will be dumped on those eibachs, but you know that.

I agree with Bill, why don't you just throw the RK's on right now. It will take you all of 10 minutes.
Whenever I get something new for the car, I'm always very anxious to put it in as soon as possible.

Remember you should go get some wheel locks for the BBS RK's. I almost had them stolen so make sure you invest in some locks which would make thieves question their motives for maybe a couple more minutes :)

Hartge wheels are staright and true with a new piece of aluminum applied to the hub to allow the center caps to be snaped in. Wheels will be painted in two weeks. :twisted:

Nope it's a 325i. Suspension costs were:
1) Springs - $95 (used from brew)
2) Shocks/struts - $428 (brand new)
3) E46 RSM's - $65

I could no problem but i'd feel weird rolling around on them in 4x4 mode. Plus i don't have wheel locks yet, don't want someone to easily rip them off.

Yes i hope this is a huge transformation, and it should look amazing. I'm expecting a 2" drop from the eibach's max, hopefully a bit less. Did you have any tire wear problems in the rear from the camber?

I'm thinking of getting some "eurolocks" ($35). They would use the existing lug bolts you sent therefore i would still have the correct length on all 4 corners. Can't wait to see the hartge wheels mounted, they will look amazing.

I didn't really have any problem with tire wear, but I only ran my es100s for a couple months. I think it has a lot to do with how good your suspension bushings are... My friend Jarvis' es100s are almost completely bald on the inside-rear after only a few months, and his car wasn't as low as mine.

[M3 Ryan]
