details on the coil over set up? They don't look like e32 specific units.

KIDO E34 coilovers.

the install process is the same as with an E34 as the suspension part #s are the same

rears bolt on, and fronts need to mod (cut and weld) the strut housings. not a BIG deal.

@MikeG: thanks bro. you E34 looks amazing too, i've seen it in the E34 board in bf.c

[MikeG]

Impressive work. Im a fan

Thank you. You mentioned no coilovers for E32's, however I was able to search and found lowering springs for the E32 on ebay. Eibach has springs that lower 1.25in fr and 1.0 rr. How much lower than stock do you think the car is now and what is the offset on the wheels.

i know about the lowering springs, but i wont spend a lot of money on those, plus the shock and as a result the car will look almost as stock. by cutting the stock im lower than lowering springs and save the money for a decent set of coilovers.

dont remember the ET.. i think 35. I know i need spacers once i do the body and paint job

Probably the best e32 i know.

thank you for your kind words sr.!

This is one legit build, I love threads that are just about restoring the car back and not all about what wheels and coilovers should get (don't get me wrong, I love those kind of threads too) lol, major props on working on this car. The interior looks good too!

thanks for the nice comments. I also enjoy thread with some more than low. I still have work to do and I'll be updating in here

thank you!

1. 18x8.5 on 245/40 front and 19x9.5 on 245/35 rear
2. 2 in front and like 2.5 in the rear

the ride is very comfy and pretty similar to stock. anyways i wanna go lower so coilovers are in the target any time now
