6/83 grey market 323i.. mtech I S50 5-lug

[kronus]

Rears will work - this is as low as GC coilovers go, without a roll. It clears, but just barely. I'm going to roll it anyway so that I have useful suspension.

Love the wheel set-up!

[kronus]

put a front on to check fitment - it's surprisingly not so bad. This is with the coil not as far down as it could go, and the front camber set even with uncorrected rear camber, which is suboptimal, but fashionable, I guess. I was very surprised to see that it doesn't touch the fender well at all at both steering extremes.

Wow, that actually looks pretty nice. Surprising given the initial offset.

[kronus]

All on. Rears required a roll, fronts are cambered in and clear ok. Click for big.

Where can you get the rods an pistons from? I want to do a clone motor for my 323 an have not found to much info on doing any thing to it

I don't know yet, but ross can make pistons and rods to pretty much any spec you want, so i just need to fiure out the h26 dimensions...


Or put in the m90 i'm removing from the six :s

Sweet project.

[kronus]

Sweet project.

pulled some toys out of storage and mocked them up - not sure if I want to go this route.

Wow those do run kind of narrow!
I think those are next for my 9's, thank you!

Looking good :p

[Farbin Kaiber]

Yes. Do it!

I like it

[freeride53]

They look fantastic! Think I might install mine tomorrow.
Although nothing's rolled yet and I have 45 sidewalls currently on the 17's so it's sketch.
Don't think I'll run the risk by driving back down to San Diego on them this Sunday.

Oh vell.

They actually would sit fairly square on the 8s if they didn't have gigantic rim protectors. these things are absolutely huge.

Yes. Do it!

I might. Have to find out how much m-tech rear bumper trim is going to run, first.

I'd like it a lot more if it was covered in a nice, non-rusty, smooth white material on the outside. Will shoot you a PM tomorrow.

COol :)

thanks!

Took it out in public for the first time. Everything suspension-wise is tight, but the (automatic) transmission refuses to go into anything above 3rd gear, leaving me 4k rpm+ at 60, so it looks like I will have to find a 5spd sooner than I planned.

Tomorrow I'm looking at another pair of sport seats, because cloth >>> vinyl.
