Anyone think I went too low?

Where did you get those huge steels?

Dealership, they're OEM E46 steelies, 17x7.

Should be a lil wider at the lips once I find someone willing too :)

looks good, but so much for suspension geometry

also that hood fits like shit

Oh really smart guy? Whats wrong with the geometry?

Find me a CF hood for the same price that fits better, I triple dare you!

cum.

Those are some legit coilovers. Those are crazy spring rates for the street, is this car mostly driven on track or street?

Still don't mean yours fits good.

How much do e46 steelies weigh?

[Van Westervelt]

Seriously, all the dumbass statements on here. READ the thread! I never said it was ideal, I just said it was low. Hah!

The coils were installed threaded 3/4 of the way to the bottom and max camber on the plates (-4-4.5 degrees) The steelies were put on again just at the time of install.

Less than an hour later, I raised the collars almost to the top, and pulled the ill fitting steelies until correct spacers arrive.

These shots were just taken as a "holy shit thats crazy!" when I first dropped it to the ground. So chill. It was like that in the pics for maybe an hour if that in my driveway. lol

This suspension will be 90% track. I have the stock m3 struts for street.

The steelies weigh in at a whopping 21 lbs (less rubber).

And if you are referring to my hood fitment, it works until the car goes into body when I am putting on a real one. Got this one for $100, and its helping me decide if I want to paint the other one, or leave it exposed.

too low

Indeed it was wise guy! ;)

[Digitalwave]

I'd rock the hood.

So is not having an e30 to drive like not getting laid for a long time?
IE: Makes you edgy, pissy and unplesant? :up:

Not having an e30 to drive in almost a year makes me all of the above, but when it comes back to life better then ever it might come close to getting a good session in!
