    The vibration was there even with the stock bottlecaps, changing wheels really didn't make a difference. I'm sure that something needs replaced, lets just say this wasn't the most cared for car lol. I'll have the front end up in a couple days so I'll be able to check it out.. wouldn't be surprised if I'll have to replaced a few things

      Well after a long day and a few issues (and a ton of help from a couple buddies) the e30 was finally dropped. Still more suspension work to be done but its nice to finally have it dropped.

              Yeah all the trim will be repainted. More boring parts ordered today lol

              Just ordered tail light gaskets, lower control arms, M3 lca bushings, and hub rings.

                        Coming along very nice. I dig those OG sans I wish they had a zero offset though. Great work!

                            Well didn't get to much done as my spacers and caliper didn't show up so I lost motivation plus it rained some.

                            So I repainted the rear trim and rear bumper (did the bumper since the chrome looked horrible and there were some scratches in it). Also got my front center console in so my interior looks a little better.

                                I have been wanting to see these wheels on an e30 since they existed.
                                Finally.

                                Car looks great, I dig it.
