I've always hated the way my car has rode on my gc's, I've always blamed the shitty ride on stock struts. I lifted my car all the way up today to get through the snow.

It rides absolutely amazing. I love it, but it looks stupid as hell. It is possible to get low without sacrificing ride quality . I plan on ordering bc's tomorow but before I do that I'd like to consider all my options.

Lol why? Do you even understand why the car rode they way it did? That problem could be fixed with properly valved struts. Smh, Are people even trying anymore?

Nope.

E30 dash swaps are cake. Either way, heater core is an hour job all said and done...unless you have a 24v e30, then you add an hour to that for intake removal/install.

I have to do the core in my car soon, I'm hoping the m30 doesn't require pulling the manfold :/

I think that is one of the few swaps that doesn't. IIRC, it's at enough of an angle that you can get to it fairly easy. I hate removing M30 intakes.

Nope.

That makes me sad. People would just rather bolt in an s52 and off the self "coilovers" than take the time to learn how to make there m20 fast or learn how suspension works. Its a fucking travesty.

I like to see people be creative, and it sure doesn't happen a lot anymore. I just really like the 24v platform, or I would probably be stuck on 12v motors still.

[Mlarsen]

Me too, I have nothing against 24v cars. I just wished people would spend a little more time learning about stuff and making something awesome.

[e30austin]

I really liked Alex's M20 in the black car that was just wrecked. For an M20, it sounded amazing and was pretty fucking fast. That was cool to me because of just spending his money on an M50 swap, he made an admittedly pretty badass M20.

[Mlarsen]

Yeah I love that m20 and I'm hoping to get something similar out of my M20 but, in a iX.

[e30austin]

Word.
