Did you work in Downtown Salem for a bit? I'm a mostly a VW guy so I'm not on here much and I just saw this thread. Looks great!

[EN318isPDX]

I see you have the aluminum control arms, how are those holding up? how much difference in the steering? I hear they bend super easy.

Well then, you would be misinformed. Had them on for 3 years, ZERO issues or change in geometry. Its all just unsprung weight numbers etc. Most people hate on them because they are spendy. Whatev.

Yeah, that's why they come stock on M3's, and DTM cars used them for years, they bend all the time. :roll:

How much do they affect steering/unsprung weight/being a baller?

Actually he is correct Mr. Group N Non-M Special car!!! ;) But hey, it makes your mod list way more special. Stroke the E-dick.

Stock M3's did not all come with Alu. Arms. DTM cars also did not use them for a long time either....

But hey... where does correctness really matter? It's the internets!

[smonkbmw]

i think it was the 91 m3s that came with the aluminum control arms stock. me and my 88 were not so lucky.

[SamE30e]

I'd hit it..

A bagillion times!

[shmutzigE30]

wow so sick. looks nice

[mikeedler]

mine didnt have them stock either-- does now though--
the last of the E30 tourings also recieved them stock too.--- I really cant see why they would really bend easier than the steel-- unless your going over a really big curb with lots of speed.


BTW-- the car looks great Curt-- and I like it better without the sticker

[YAN-3]

Curt, your car is the sh*t!
