They're still at WOT tech in Florida. When get my grubby romneys on them, I'll update the 2012 post. Once they're on the car, I'll have to decide if I want to further drop my front spring rates (I'm thinking 400-450#), which also depends if I can make the E46 swaybar work. Hopefully I can significantly increase my comfort level!
I'm trading some labor to have it built by a "pro" :)
Yes, it certainly would be worth it to get it set up by a "pro", because IIRC a 3.38 is most commonly from an E36, so to set it up in an E30 case will require shimming, measurement, adjustment, and verification of gear contact pattern.
It'll be a great ratio!

Still a lot of dough in parts. I never realized how expensive ix parts are until we restored the rear of one. Guibos are crazy expensive, sub-frame bushings etc - anything ix specific. My jaw dropped when looking at the prices for new hubs.
Yeah, I couldn't believe you got them for that. After seeing the damaged threads in the other ones, I looked around and they were far more at most places. They appear to be the same as RWD rear hubs, but didn't measure anything to see.
they are similar, but not quite the same. the bearings differ by .05mm but I know lots of people who use the rears in the front of an ix, they're also half the price!

.05mm in what way?
Got your suspension boxed up, man it's a BIG box lol.
