What did you say?
I'm not going to slam this one?
Looks like pans on the ground to me.

You should see his e36!

[Matt-B]

Pans on the ground
Pans on the ground
Lookin' like a fool with your pans on the ground
With the gold on your wheels
Hat turned sideways
Pans hit the ground
Call yourself a cool cat
Lookin' like a fool
Ridin' downtown with your pans on the ground

Get it up, hey!
Get your pans off the ground
Lookin like a fool
Ridin' slidin' with your pans on the ground

Get it up, hey!
Get your pans off the ground
Lookin' like a fool with your pans on the ground.......LOL

They were sold locally to someone. He bought the whole assemblies!

[D-rock]

Nope... that is an E36 kit. Get one for an E30 for sure! I would go with Meyle stuff though. Not quite as cheap but better quality. If you want to go for full OEM then Lemfoerder is what you want. My e30 has all Meyle(HD where available) and love it.

I have e36 five lug swap. Thought i would need this.?

[Butler]

I'm interested in your Billies and IE3s... if they are still around.

PM me :D

No skid plate yet. Will do that. KDW2s. They are decent. Price and sizing were right.

[325ix]

Man that looks good. It's quite low. You're running a skid plate aren't you? How do you like the gforce sports? Are they the t/a kdw 2's?

I installed my GC's too, not terribly hard

Nope. Rear is just like anything else to install. I started with the adjuster in the dead middle and ended up ALMOST just like I want it. Might bring it down a coochie hair.

Front I went to about half. The install is more difficult because you have to connect up to the control arm and tie rod. Top is just 3 bolts. Obviously you need to pay attention to markings or know how the assembly should sit so you can setup your caster/camber.

Thank you for the help! On other question, i should just replace my tie rods and links while i am down there right? Anything else you might suggest?

Well to fully enjoy the coilovers I would want to know EVERYTHING was nice and right.

Control Arms
Tie Rods
Control Arm Bushings
Sway bar Endlinks
Sway bar bushings

I also did the rear end. RTABs and Subframe Bushings. It feels so damn good.

Thank you for the help! Oh other question, i should just replace my tie rods and links while i am down there right? Anything else you might suggest?

I thought you would have installed the GC kit your self, since you have done most of the work on the car yourself. Now i am a little worries to do them my self :/ ?

I get my set on the 27th! :D

I did the GCs myself with no additional help. Was an easy install. The only thing I didn't do to them was assemble them(GC did it) and then a local shop owner who I am friends at had one of his techs torque/properly install the hubs while I bought some ATE brake fluid and redline diff fluid. I don't have a torque wrench that goes to 210 ft/lb. You can DIY for sure!




We see how she settles... want to bring the front end down just a little but my driveway is going to fight me I can see...
