DD on coils is not that big of deal

my friend had an e28 on GC's and it rode fine and it was low

Yeah, the ride doesn't bug me at all. The clunking gets a little old, but whatevs...it's worth it.

*No thread jacking intended*
I also have a '92 E34 525i Auto but I'm in a dilemma should I use my money on a 5-speed swap and suspension stuff, maybe later turbo OR scrap the whole idea and go with a E30?
(P.S. The E34 & E30 are tied for my favorite 2 BMW body styles)

then don't use billies, use konis instead. billies are well known for being too stiff especially in the front on e34s.

Yeah, coilovers should have the spring rate matched to the damper... thus much better ride quality

Dont want to slam my car, just lower it maybe a half inch more than it already is.

haters just hate

[James Crivellone]

it will be more comfy as a DD on coils than on billies and H&R.
Been there, done that.

And OP, start saving for the inevitable 5 speed swap. Luckily it is all bolt on/plugin and only 2 wires to switch around on 92-94 m50 e34s.

Or any other spring.

coil-overs do not automatically make it ride softer/harsher

If the zf trans doesnt have a drain plug, you shoul get one of those cheap rred vacuum pumps and put the black tube intoo the red tube annd syphon a couple quarts out through the tranny dipstick.

isn't a zf, and doesn't have a dipstick, it's the way way way undersized 4l30e gm france. aka a4s310r.

it is a complete piece of sh!t trans.

On the oil stain, be sure it is actually the pan, far far more common for the VC to have a seep that ends up dripping off the pan.

Mind you I'm also against slammed cars as daily's as well.

I'll bite my tongue on the VIP low guys, but this is a freaking automatic 525i E34, it should be comfy and have some ground clearance.

less talk more pics

Sounds just like the glove compartments on every e34 I have ever owned.

Truth^


This thread is priceless

I am laughing from page 1 to 8

Well it is on hr sports already... not a ton of aftermarket for theis chassis (besides engine)

lol what? H&R, Voglant, Eibach, Koni, Ground Control, BC Racing, JOM, ACS, Lowtec, I can keep going but I think Ive proven my point...

I did one on an m20 in 3 hours and learned where I can improve.

With a buddy it can be done in 2 hours.

So I believe my oil pan gasket is leaking, and we all know how hard of a job it is on a BMW I6...

looks like e34 is extra hard. Ive done one on an eta and it took 3 hours start to end.

Good thing I have access to a lift

Thought it only would take 2 hours and couldnt be that bad? Ill be amazed if you get it done in 4 hours let alone 2...

You should get out of owning cars and just ride a MoPed or something.

Agreed.





Ya know, I heard quite a few stories about you 5Toes. I didnt believe someone could be so ignorant and dense. But you have proven me wrong with this thread. I say rust your hood, hack your springs to get low, and whatever other stupid shit you wanna do and go join those Honda guys you troll at car meets.
