      You only say that because you've never ridden a Buell or driven a 470hp e30.

      In regards to parts, you'll need a new driveshaft, and the booster may not fit, be weary of that. Radiator may need replacing too.

        I spent 2.8k on my bed.

        so lets say I don't do what everyone says about the while you're in there shit because I don't care just want it for summer if it even lasts that long is it really only 2k-2.5k for this shit?

          My car drives! Stance is better, Ill get pics tomorrow after it settles a little.

          Lol thought my car was wack and toast, because I had soooo much positive camber on the passenger side, until I got under the car and saw the tire sagging a ton on the inner edge.

          I run 33.5 PSI up front, this tire was pushing 20.5, lol. Its hard to tell when just rolling it around on the street and until it is put under load

          I really like my stance now. Stock struts, 1 coil cut off springs, no spring pads, and E90 drop hats.I plan on painting my front lip while it is off the car too.

                  PNWers.


                  What tire do you recommend?
                  The Yoko S drives or G Force Sport?
                  Theyre both about the same amount.


                  This is my daily, no racing or if anything 1 autocross day if that.

                  Thanks as always!

                        Toyo Proxies 4


                        Great all around street/sport tire. Compound is just soft enough to grip good and wont wear away fast. Sidewalls are firm. And they are well priced.

                        Yokohama S-drives are also very good but are a little soft and wear away too fast for my wallet's taste.

                          i personally use the mich pilot exaltoson the e30 and have no compliants 20k later good grip all around not kidding in snow, rain, dry etc but that just me. I love yokos ive ran the yk520 on my e39 volvo xc90 merc c320 all of which lasted at min 30k miles replaced them on the merc at 45k 40k on the e39 and would run them in my e30 if they had the size.

                              I have pilot exalto PE2's on my DD, they rock. About 20k miles and 330ftlbs to the front wheels and they still have tons of life and grip left. About 150 a tire in smaller sizes. For sure the best all around summer tire I've ever had.
