The Adventures of Golden Boy, my Rebound E30

[oprahhwinfreyy]

Very exciting day for me, a highly anticipated package showed up. The contents being...




These coilovers were pretty much the last piece of the puzzle before I start tearing into the E30. I'm trying to gather all the parts necessary for the suspension overhaul and 5-speed swap so that I can dedicate a week solely to the E30 and bust it all out (that's the ideal outcome anyways). I'm expecting to run into setbacks and realize I should've ordered parts that I didn't, but I'll cross that bridge when it comes. I have a few little odds and ends to order still.

Couldn't help myself, had to lay it all out and take a picture. I left some random things out but you get the gist. Getting antsy and excited! It's going to be a lot of work.

Super jealous

Golden boy is one lucky e30, your work is impeccable!

Love the aerial parts photo

Thanks man!

Looks great. Question, what spring rates did you end up going with for the coils?

7kg front / 8kg rear

this thing is gonna be so nice...

I hope so, the whole exterior portion of this project is going to be a big one.

Damn, that last pic is crispy.

Thanks :up:

This is one lucky car. I've been following your shop for awhile on garagejournal for a long time. I go and check in every 5 months or so just to see how much more awesome both it and your work gets. Love it.

PS: Your front control arms are switched in the parts pic... I'm guessing you did it that way intentionally because it frames out the front end better. ;)

Awesome man! Thanks for following my shop thread as well.

Yeah I'm sure the pic isn't very accurate, I just kinda tossed things in and made them look right for the photo. It's been a few years since I've actually been under an E30 so I'm a bit foggy on how everything is situated.

That last pic is awesome, haha. Let us know how you like the coilovers.



*Also saw your for sale ad for the tan side bolsters and can't find it anymore. I'll take them if they're still for sale.

Thanks man, I'll definitely post up some feedback on the coils. I'm going to PM you right now regarding the bolster skins :up:

I just measured it, it's 3-5/8" (or ~92mm) tall.

Thank you sir

Can you measure the shift knob for me? Why to compare the height to my Zhp knob

Got an exciting package on the way which should be here in the next few days, but in the mean time this showed up today. It's the Condor Shorty weighted shift knob, which should compliment the IE Super Short Shift Kit and DSSR nicely:

Nice! I know exactly where both are! The spring club from high street was my go to! I miss SLO. I'll definitely let you know if I am ever back down in the area!

The Dutch Punch is my personal go to haha. Sounds good though man!
