'90 325i sedan. (bronzit content)

Still too high ^^^^

I'll be adjusting it tomorrow and I'll try and get some day time shots...I'm tucking tire in the rear

[jaywood]

Got the rears on today

Chocked the front wheels and jacked it up



Removing sway bar links



At this point I had to drop the differential so the trailing arms could be pushed down, therefore letting the spring pop out.

Spring and shock out



Shock going in...didn't have a helper so I had to keep it held up somehow while I climbed in the trunk and tightened the bolts...so I used a wrench and a socket extension (would have used the bolt, but couldn't find it at the time)



Mom saw and had to get a picture...she helped me on the other shock :)



Springs getting ready to go in



Size difference???



Didn't get any pictures of the springs in :(

Aligning differential



Everything together

Cant wait to see how this turns out. Subscribed!

[jaywood]

Got a little update...put the front BC coilovers on today

Gotta have the music



Out









Spring off



Shock out (I had bilsteins in there?)



Cut the strut housings and left 50mm





Sanded all the paint off...got it ready to weld



Welded and painted



On



Putting tie rod and control arm back in (had to use a jack to put pressure so I could tighten up the nuts)



Both sides in and slightly adjusted...mad rake yo



There's still a whole bunch of adjustment...right now the lip sits a little lower than the top of my iPhone. Spring rates are 10k/12k. I drove around the block to make sure everything felt right and it felt pretty nice...it handles soooo much better then stock

Rears should be going in tomorrow if I get some time

[jaywood]

Got one side on





Both sides on (sorry, it's dark out)

[jaywood]

Thanks guys :)

Finished both sides of the trim. Pics will come when I get home from riding

[robrez]

Nice DIYing. I wouldn't have the attention to detail or patience to do half that stuff.

[Harry's E30]

good work jaywood cant wait for the coils

[jaywood]

Did a final layer of bondo (no pics) :(

Needed some spot filler in areas



All sanded and primed



Getting painted



Finished





I'll probably finish the audio tomorrow, and might get started on the coilovers...updates soon!

how did u take off the bumper strips without breaking the tabs

I used a flathead screwdriver to pry the tabs off from the back of the bumper
It's impossible to not break a couple tabs. There are tabs that you can't see.

You kind of have to push the tab out while you're pushing it to the side to get it to pop. After doing a couple it gets pretty easy, just takes some time.

the vinyl shadowline looks alot easier then painting it...I like what you've done so far

Thanks :)
