14 years - 1991 325ix, Stroker/5-Speed (N52 swap?)

yeah, I wanted the 21mm version, but ended up with the 23mm instead. the 21mm version came on E46 323i's and is plenty stiff enough in relation to the stock 17mm front bar. I'll probably want to couple it with a 17-19mm rear bar so the ratios don't get out of wack.

pretty much it should bolt right up, but I need to find (or make) a bushing first, and I also need a set of the bushing brackets to test fit with.

Great read. I just figured out you're Chris325iX... lol.

I got my iX the same time you did.

[nando]

really? yours looks like a pretty much ground up resto. I bet at this point, yours is probably nicer than mine! :)

I think I just realized something...your username on e30tech. You have helped me out quite a few times over there!

Amazing car. It's good to see you still have interest in it after 10+ years!

Working on your parts and decided to see if you have a build thread. Low and behold. Always loved your car.

I really have nothing to say but amazing build. Clean and thought out to perfection. Love it

the struts actually cleaned up pretty well. unfortunately, the hubs were trashed (damaged threads). That explains this picture:


new hubs are about $200 for the pair...
