      Hopefully i will post some photos in the desert this weekend. Added hood pins and did a tune up.

      I need to build a new exhaust as it leaks in a few places and i have welded the flex pipe a few times and it breaks constantly.

        Awesome read. I used info from this thread to whip myself up a lifted e30. I used Yokohama geolandars in 205 70 15 paired with the e30 vert springs up front and e36 vert springs out back but with a 3/4" spacer on top for an added 1 1/2" of fender gap. The yokos didn't need any clearancing of the rear fender. I can get under the car without a jack now. It's a late model, and the rear fender sits at 28" off the ground. The front is 27". Thanks for your research!

            Hate to make you click, but I can't figure out how to post pics from my phone.

                This is how I justify another e30. :)

                  I saw your post stating you are still rocking e30 control arms. what would the advantage be with e46 arms? Currently building a rally e30 myself, already got meaty tires, flaps and fogs. Suspension is next.
                  Jah bless! :pimp:

                        e46 arm push out the track width ~1in on each side for better clearance for big meats and slightly more travel



                        here is a comparison of all e30 e36 and e46 LCAs

                              Haven't had much time to take this thing out lately but expect some off-road pictures soon.
