Dave-gerous E21

[Dave-ger]

I'm going to be vague for now, but if you have questions, go ahead and ask. I have to notch out my subframe for the control arms to not hit it anymore... they don't touch at ride height, but it wouldn't take much of a bump to make them hit...


oh yea, and for those who didn't see the other thread for this car, it doesn't run yet... you may be thinking: "why did he lower it when it doesn't even run?", I'll let you in on a fun fact: still waiting for my fuel lines to get here.

anyways, there it is for now, I might bring the back up a wee bit for now... we'll see.

oh, by the way, these shit coilovers were free, it was that or cut springs, I thought this seemed slightly nicer. either way, I would have had the same height.

nice...

[e30:)]

looks good! i have the same tool set ha.

[eld4au6]

nice, but I cant imagine driving that around town. Our stock ride hight e21 seems to bottom out on a lot of stuff especially the front lip.

looks good! i have the same tool set ha.

thank you sir. I really dig that tool set, very handy, the case is about dead though, I need to do something about that.


eld4au6, I have a friend with an audi that is probably less than 1/2 inch from the ground. it's a bit low for my taste as far as how much it scrapes, but he goes everywhere he needs to, my car is a monster truck compared to that, I plan on building a skid plate for the oil pan as well, once that's protected, there isn't much to worry about as far as scraping.

How'd you lower the rears?

[Dave-ger]

How'd you lower the rears?

refer to the pic of the smaller red strut with the really crappy-ricey looking blue coil over. E21's are coil over in the back rather than having the coil separate like an E30. I would imagine that one could put E21 struts on the back of an E30 if they wanted to easily go low... I have not looked at E30's as closely as E21's though, so I couldn't tell you for sure.

If I misunderstood your question and that was not the answer you were looking for, I apologize.


I can't wait till my fuel lines get here, really hoping that's all that's wrong with the engine.

[evil_twin]

You hit the nail on the head with your answer. Thanks.

[Dave-ger]

good dealio, finally got some decent pics of the car.

[Jand3rson]

Excellent work, Dave. Excellent work.

[Dave-ger]

I can't believe my post count already got that high... hmmm. interesting regardless.


As far as that tool box goes, I will have to do something like that soon, just not sure exactly what yet.
