  • SeanDub: SLAMDM3

    This isnt here yet, so here's the story of the M3.

    How it looked the day I bought. Poor thing.



    The very first thing I did was pick up a set of staggered DS2's (Chrome )





    Then came the coils, MV RS lip, and Yellow Lamin-x



    Borrowed some wheels from a friend, with the intention of powdercoating the DS2's





    Placed a few orders, and got rid of those awful ambers, and then some









    Bought a LW flag and headed out to my first Bimmerfest. BFest 2008.



    Then came a late order





    Heres where my stance disease really started to show itself. Style 5's.





    A real shoot followed, of course





    Then it started to really bug me that my car wasn't sittin low, so I rebuilt the coilovers with new springs.





    That got the front low, I was sittin at -5* of camber up front, without camber plates.

    Before I could assess the situation one of my fans stopped by...



    Along with one in the quarter panel to match, how sweet.



    Fixed the camber, which also raised my front end



    Then it was off to get fixed. I decided that while my love marks were getting fixed, I'd go for a full respray, and refinish my wheels while the car was being worked on







    It came back, fresh paint and green wheels, and was lookin pretty good!



    But that damn ride height! I'd had enough, got some vorshlag camber plates for the front and started removing everything that wasnt completely necessary to the coilovers. We set it down when it was all said and done.. All I could do was smile, ear to ear.



    Finally, I was low. Low like I wanted to be. This called for a real photoshoot!





    Then it was time to do some more work to get ready for BFest.





    Then we were off to the fest 09 where my car FINALLY got to be shot by Mike. He didnt disappoint.





    Once back from the fest it was time for change. Again.















    With the new wheels came the Hellaflush approval.



    And who can forget Yoshi?!



    I'm sure I've missed some details, but oh well. There it is, the long road to today.


    Thanks to anyone who has shot my car, Mike, Austin, Steven, Yih-woei, Johnny.

    Also thanks to everyone who had a hand in helping get the car where it sits today, Brad, Jamo, Josh, Skylar, Courtney, Bryan and Brandon I'm sure you've done somethin with this car at some point. Everyone else who I forgot.

                    Love it. Liked the style 5s more than the Sawblades, but props for something different.

                    Question: What all was removed from the coilovers to lower it? My friends on Tein SS and the fronts are maxed and it's def. not low enough. Was thinking of taking out one of the collars, what else can be removed? Also, do the camber plates make a height difference? Or just make the camber adjustable up front?
