No engine weight.. Subframe is about 1-1.5" off the ground



For those that don't wanna go back to the first page

E30M3 struts
Koni SA inserts
MODE camber plates
GC coilover kit w/ 500/650#

Thanks for looking

[xAZxE30x]

Still need to roll all fenders. The rears are all the way up and still touch the fender

[xAZxE30x]

Looks like my unicorn chains weren't strong enough!




Rear adjusters are at the top, fronts are lowest with no engine weight. Oh my god does it rub in the turns!

It's at my place now where the engine insertion will be done

Few questions.

How much did you section your housings?
Are you running adapters, and if so what size?

Thanks

Looks great. I love the stance/wheels.

[xAZxE30x]

No sectioning or cutting. I am running a piece of aluminum in the bottom to fill the gap

No adapters. E30M3 suspension all around

Thanks!! It still needs lots of work before its perfect. Major fender rolling is needed and some camber adjustments

Wow Very Nice! Keep up the good work!

Had a little fender rolling party yesterday with Amr and Rares

Rolled flat and pulled out a decent amount.. Nothing crazy but definately noticeable when comparing to stock





The fronts are still at Max height and the rears are a about 1/4 down. I will play with the heights this week some time. The rear can probably go down 3/4 until it rubs. There's quite a bit of room in there and not sure why people say you have to run a smaller tire with these wheels

Played around a bit with my mtech 2 getting an idea of fitment


Anyone know of a good way to refinish the color on these frenchies?


Rares' new sweet wheels!


Andddddd my boy sitting on Efrens bike having a blast!

very clean, have you been hitting up pav's?

So I'll be moving down the area in a few months. If you see a black E30 with driving lights, that would be me.

I haven't been yet since my car has been back together. I plan on going this Saturday tho!

Nice!!! What part of town you gonna be in? You'll have to come to some meets

[xAZxE30x]

Rolled the fronts today, just a little, didn't go crazy on them. Adjusted my shocks and camber and lowered the front and it handles soooo much better. I think I need to trim my bump stops tho. I'm really digging the look :D
