        Replaced the 5" 700 rate springs with 4" 800 rates and put the adjusters back in. Gained another 3/4" drop in the back.


        Before


        After! so smexy. I put the adjusters all the way down and I need to drop the front about 1/4 more. Right now it is perfectly level, I want to get a bit more lower in the front to make it useless. The only way to go lower would be to do a true coilover setup in the back, cup the rear trailing arms to set the adjusters inside the arm. Or run bags, but bags are for bitches. I think I am finally perfectly happy! Zero rubbing, gained a little bit more camber and it sits damn sexy. I still have enough room to run the 245/40s in the rear this coming summer. Going for more meaty setup after these are toast.

        BIG shout out to the e30tech camber and toe weld in kit. I have almost a perfectly even wear pattern on the rear tires. Even contact patch all the way out 3/4 of the tread on a 235/40! The outside edging is about 4mm more than the inside. Still wears and shows after driving, but I do haul ass on NY backroads. Gets rid of tread pretty quick in the summer time. So yeah, that is pretty much it till next spring. Getting ready to store her for the winter. I am building a 3 car shed off my parents house to put her away. I will have lights and such, so I am going to focus on cleaning things up for spring.

            I hate how limited late models are for wheel and tire fitment. The higher arches are amazing for fitting meaty wide tires.

            Plus they do not look like they have a load in their pants when lowered.

                      Do you have any issues with the rear trailing arm brace on the passenger side contacting the fuel filler neck hose with the suspension compressed? I welded in a similar brace on my bars and it was touching the hose, so I had to chop it out. I might weld in something similar to the z3m braces at a later date.

                          No issues at all. I made them clear with the trailing arm completely compressed without a spring. If they hit with a spring I have bigger issues.

                          Fender is stored and awaiting this spring. HUGE things are happening when warmth comes again.
