I think you may be confusing my usage for it. Were you thinking I was straight up tapping the OE front spindle sleeve? I needed to chase threads in the front spindle coilover sleeves (that were welded on) after I unscrewed the shock cartridge and had some galled threads due to a bit of rust. I am runnign megan coilovers, and the front shock cartridge is 100% an M50x1.5 thread. Otherwise this wouldn't have worked :D

Painted the double ear diff mount and spare tire delete. Upgraded my workbench with a 1/4" steel top (made it +3" larger in each direction to squeeze a bit more surface out of it). Realized I had 5 different cans of underbody spray, so I did a test to compare them all. Started fussing with the trailing arms again... passenger side requires a different style reinforcement to clear the fuel filler hose. I think I'm going to go back to my original idea of modding the TA to accept these slick ground control pivoting height adjusters since I haven't been able to find off the shelf components to convert my rear shocks to true coilover. And truth be told I really dont feel like pulling the rest of the trunk apart to do reinforcements etc etc. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Interested to see how the articulating joints play out. I know our spring location is not ideal, but won't the articulating joints mean you have to use an even shorter spring (that will have less travel and more chance of coil bind)?
FWIW I haven't had any coil bind with 5" Eibach ERS springs in the rear.

The more I see from builds like yours and guys that can weld, the more I know I need to just buy a house so I can get a good welding setup and learn to do this type of work. Looks great man'86 325e Zinnoberrot /// '02 325ci Schwarz II /// '18 M4 Azurite Black Metallic ///
