Dropped the front down (spun the coils down like an inch+) and the ride height didn't change at all. Already checked the e-brake. :shrug:

I gotta do all my rear bushings eventually, maybe I'll get raised subframe bushings. That should correct a bit and keep it looking stanced without burning through tires as much.

I already (at least seem to) have a decent amount of toe and camber in the rear.

Gotta love them semi rear trailing arms :(

Do you gots mad reverse rake now?

I do, but since the fenders are lower the car itself is fairly level.

Remove your spring pads in the rear, you will lose about another .5 - 1". I also used a regular 5/8 heater hose from the head to the plastic coolant pipe even though the part at the head is smaller. No problems

Ehh I was gonna do that but for one thing the pipe was kinda loose on the head no matter how tight i put the clamp on. And then like a retard I cut the hose too short 12 minutes after kragen closed. Mine from blunt will be in this weekend so it's okay....I'm gonna have to go to a pnp and grab some stock length lugs. Then I'll trade my rear 10mm spacers for 15's and get the fenders rolled to match. and I'll probably ditch my lower spring pads at least.

New rear springs. 5" 450#. Now I needa find my coil over tools to drop the front and then get the fenders all rolled.

I went with red cuz I'm pissed AF. I got my license and popped a coolant hose in one day. And the hose is wider on one end than the other, so I can't get it locally.

Is it the little one under the intake that goes from the block to the plastic coolant pipe? (After the mess is removed, of course)

Same thing happened to me. I got one size hose for the block, and one for the plastic pipe. The got a 90 degree elbow that was smaller on one end.

BAM! Fixed.

Really nice bimmer! Keep up the good work.

Sooo...what color did you go with?? ;)

[Vivek]

Just walked out into the garage. There's like 10 ounces of coolant on the ground. Goddammit.

[Vivek]

New spark plugs, painted my plug wire cover thing, sanded the lines on my mani, and got a decent limo client that should make me a lotta mod money :D. Pretty damn good day.

[Vivek]

I wasn't running it open like that :rofl: I got a bit too excited and forgot to take a pic of the entire intake back together.
