Awesome Bimmer. Stay low.

Love the cali swag too. People don't understand the pleasure of wearing shorts cause they're self conscious of their pale, hairy legs.

That white van on those huge tires is sick

Thanks man... Forever low... Xcept for the van... =)

Bags Done-ish...

It still needs some tweeking, but the bags are pretty much done...
The ride is not too bad. Could be better. Looking for some nice used Billy's now...
Also looking to add Some Strut bars for some rigidity...


Next, maintenance work...
Oil Change, Valve Cover Gasket, CAB's, Tie Rods, New Brake Pads n Rotors, re-charge A.C., flush and renew Coolant System...

If I have a chance this weekend, I'll prolly rub a 'lil Forever Black on all the faded plastic bits...

Here are a few ok pics..

im not saying you wont like it but its gonna drive like shit the rebound and stiffnesss of the factory shocks are horrible for even a lowering spring let alone a set of bags you should purchase a set of bilsteins and modify those

I got some extra plates... I might buy some nice used Billy's any way and make an extra pair to try...

Prolly... We'll see... If I don't like, try something new..

More Strut work...




Bag on Strut..





Strut back on car...






After we plumbed everything and put it all together, I wasn't satisfied with the drop...
We realized the stock Strut Hats / Mounts were just too thick... At first, we tried to install upside down... This worked great except for the the Bearings are pressed and steaked in one direction and could dislodged with one good bump... Plus, there is a clearance issue under the hood...


So, I decided to get some Camber Plates... Yay!!








Currently, the front tires are 225 / 40 / 18's... So I just picked up some 215 / 35 / 18's... Waiting to put them on until I get my new passenger side bag...
Then I will clean her up good and take some purty pics to post...

Until then... Here are a sneak peek...



To Be Continued......
