I have raceland coils on my rabbit. super stiff, when i pull into steep drive ways 1 wheel comes off the ground. The driveway at my apt complex is so steep that for a milli second the car is only on the RF & and the LR wheels.
The ride doesnt bother me. Cheapest kit you can get. Look in the vortex MK1 threads about them. some people take off the helper springs and others dont. also the stock wheels will rub on the springs so you will need spacers or find a offset that works. I put spacers on for now but im in the process of buying some wheels.

OT: But if you resize that photo Pedro, it would make for a much nicer sig ;)
Josh, do you have like a vision of what you're trying to get to, like one specific car you're trying to replicate or get close to?
PM me for detailing services in the Longmont / Boulder Area in Colorado!

I'm skeptical about that vinyl man. Be brave. Use paint. Let the roof have rust - but that area around the windshield should get solid prep work and the candy coating of paint. You're on the right track getting original cleaned well to first access thee color of the car - or for that particular area at least. Paint can be color-matched.
Summary:
a) $100-200 in paint > $100-200 in vinyl
b) color-match with paint > color-match with vinyl
c) which to you think will withstand sun-fade better: paint or vinyl?
d) will vinyl do more harm than good in the long run?
e) paint will look like nothing happened. an over-grown sticker might look like an over-grown band-aid.

You've got that car so far apart, its really a good time to paint the whole thing. If you don't your gunna always says, damn i shoulda just painted it back then. You could just do an exterior respray with the hood, doors and fenders on. If you go single stage you probably would'nt put you more than a couple hundred outside of your budget and it would be an awsome learning experience.
Awsome project by the way im very jealous of that find!All Your Base Is Belongs To Us

Great project. Nice Mk1. Keep it as original paintwise.
e30 wheels are a bolt-on as they share the same et25 offset, 4x100 bolt pattern, and 57.1mm hub.
LeeBrake harder. Go faster. No shit.

I know you guys mean well, but I'm just not getting into doing a full respray on the car. I want to keep the original paint and the only areas that will need new paint are the cowl and the roof. Also, if I do vinyl on the roof, I can change it later. I'm thinking about doing something like a checkerboard pattern, or something else fun. I think some of you guys underestimate how good a good vinyl application can look. I've seen cars done by this shop in town that you'd swear were painted until you see the edge of the vinyl. And I'm going to be sanding, primering and prepping the roof and cowl, so if I decide to paint them later down the road, I can.
Pedro, that looks pretty good. Do they have the ability to go lower, or are you cranked all the way down?
