Brad is an asshat

[Cloudbase]

Brad I would be curious to feel your suspension compared to mine. I live in fear of even the smallest bumps, joints, bridge gaps, etc. I can't tell if it's normal Bilstiens or mine are worn out.

Brad's car needs to go moar lower in the rear if anything if we're speculating on ride height for looks purposes only.

I didn't say slam into the damn ground. I said even the reverse rake out.

Mine is pretty harsh, compared to anything not made in the 80's. You can drive it around if you want to compare.

Haters gunna hate....car looks tits. lol

Ugh, people who judge rake based on differences in wheel gap shouldn't be allowed to stance cars.

Shouldn't have a problem, mine is sitting on St springs, bilstien and sits way lower than Lambo's car, on the other hand the car looks great Brad! !

- Alex, I have a set of extra front bilstiens that have less than 2k miles if you are interested ..

It does have reverse rake, not a lot but it does, and the wheel gap is bigger up front. I didn't say the car looked bad, it was a suggestion.

No, it doesn't. Look at the roof, it is sloping down towards the front wheels. That's normal rake.

What you are referring to is the fact that the wheel arches are different sizes. That is not rake.

Fun fact: the fastest track e36 setup is 12.8-13" from center of wheel to front fender lip, 12-12.2" rear for same dimensions.

Mind = bottled? Oh noes, more front wheel gap than rear!

[Bimmerman325i]

Fixed.

[Roland H]

yup, roof and trim are sloped forward = normal rake.

[iamsam]

If Brad's car were my car, first I would bust a nut when I found out that it was mine, and second I would do E90 drop hats.

All you E30 non-owners can flame away, but refer to David's "this is me not giving a fuck" picture.

Sorry, didn't pull out my magnifying glass to look at the roof. No where did I mention handling or E36's. So no, mind not bottled.

Point of the e36 example is that an E36 and E30 both have lower rear wheel arches relative to wheel center than the front, yet the fastest setup for both cars is to have the front gap much greater than the rear gap.

Thus, lowering front to where it appears even is good for cosmetics but not for fastness.

I know, I wasn't scrutinizing over the car. What you posted is true, but I never mentioned it. I was talking purely cosmetics.
