    True but they are starting to get a little played out (yes i know they are more practical than pretty). Itd just be nice to have something different, I almost want to look at 17s

            but the control arm pivots on fixed points, you have to physically extend/detract either the top or bottom of the strut unit horizontally to actually change the angle.

            my friend added washers to the control arms of his e36 for camber...but that shit seems janky to me.

                    Don't forget to add the weight of the spacers too. That is additional rotating mass.

                      Good day chaps, last day of vacation and it's back to the grind tomorrow.




                      Does anyone know where I can get R12? My a/c system was purged and all I need is a fillup. Let me know as I would like to feel nice cold a/c again. (not Freeze12 or R134)


                      Thanks guys.

                          I think R12 is sold on ebay, that's about the only place i'm pretty sure you can get it. It's not sold anywhere in California , it's illegal.

                                Make sure you look at stuc's write up on e30 tech. He retrofited some e46 projectors on to his smileys. I'm going to retro my brand new smilieys as well.
