              My favorite wheel for E34 of all times! Car looks great! But a serious question if I may, how much suspension travel do you have on there before you are on bump-stops? I am not asking this to poke fun, but honestly want to know what your suspension config is like.

              Thanks!

                It has enough in the front, it has 3-4" depending on height, but I haven't measured it since I put it all together. I went over this earlier in the thread. When I first got the A-1 stuff I was planning on running stock length housings but I realized I would have no travel, partly because the A-1 top perches are really tall. I shortened the housings 2.5" and got some flat perches. This is with stock strut mounts also, I'll probably go with some GC plates eventually. I haven't set up the bump stops yet though, need to drive it around a bit first. As for the rear, I haven't really messed with the ride height much at all yet. It's just sitting at the height where I needed it to be while rolling the fenders

                  e28 is a total pile, not worth posting pictures of. It's just my beater/back up DD

                              lol it's really not nice, the camera does a lot for it I guess. It is a d-schwarz/black/5sp 535is, but someone Maaco painted it some random charcoal color and the paint is scary. It also has 250k+ miles and 20 exhaust leaks.
