did you ever have a white eta? I bought a white eta from a friend. Had a bunch of neon green paint on random shit just like yours. He said the last owner had done it. Hadnt seen anything like it until your car...

Nope, never. I've had this grey 325is and a black vert 325i

So I messed around with the ride height a little today.

Thanks bud. Unfortunately I had some bad luck with some packaging & now am in the process of returning the remaining studs/nuts to the forum member. I'll just have to cough up the extra couple bucks and buy the ARPs new from Forced Firebird:D

Sweet!! Sucks it put a delay on the progress but new will be nice for sure.


Hey what condor stuff do you have on your car/all other bushings? I'm about to do all my bushings, and I was wondering if condor is gonna be too stiff for a daily. And also what spring rates are you running?

I can definitely handle a little shaking, I'm not old and responsible yet!

I have the Condor motor mounts, trans mounts, m3 CABs, power steering delete, 12mm riser subframe bushings, and diff bushing. I also have some poly TA bushings...but not from Condor; they would've been but Carlos(silence) released the TA bushings a week after I had just finished refreshing my subframe I love the feel of my car & so does everyone that drives it! All the locals think it's a blast. The car is super tight and just feels good to drive. I would say get them. They are stiffer/more solid, but not that harsh. Definitely not enough to deter me from putting these on a Daily Driver. I have 450lb front springs and 650lb in the rear. Both sets are Hypercoils. Paired with Bilstein Sports in the front and some e36 koni or topiko(can't remember off the top of my head) adjustables in the rear. I would probably go a little softer spring rate in the rear, somewhere around lower 600lbs because the rear end likes to act a little skittish on the track, but nothing that I couldn't correct in my driving style.

Man I'm really torn about this. Do you get a lot of diff noise? I also probably won't go to the track at all, but I want something that's fun on the backroads. Do the negatives outweigh the pros?

I read a lot of people saying it's not worth it, but I guess it's a highly opinionated subject

[AbsorbantNut]

I didn't really notice much of a change in noise. I think they are worth getting, I like the way the car feels and shifts. I'd offer to let you drive it but you're up in NY!

I'll probably end up just getting them then! I appreciate the insight, I guess worst case I'll tear them out later.

If you're in Jacksonville around March I'll be in your direction! But chances are I'll have them in by then

One leaked photo from yesterday...more to come ;) Thanks Gunna3Hunna for the pics aka e30_daily on IG!!
