    This man speaks truth... A little bit of toe out of whack, combined with the camber will kill tires. Camber not so much all alone.

    Anywho, I love this! I have always been a fan of these old sedans ever since I had my 88 hatch back in 2003-4. They look so good when done right and you are doing it right!

    Love that picture with the little girl (assuming your daughter?) My daughter hangs out with me in the garage while I work on the e28, cant wait till she is old enough to be interested lol

                  Just a question about the racelands you got. I'm looking into getting some rokkors for my wagon because I have seen a few wagons on them and they go pretty low. Were your problems with the front coils or rear or both? Because on the site it says you need to use the forks off of a 92-95 civic (I'm assuming they're shorter than the EF forks). Also, do you have any camber kits for the front? I'm looking to do similar fitment and yours fit your wheel wells pretty good.

                    Ok, so i actually have rokkor coilovers. When it comes to the frontt forks, yes you need eg ones, but not because of their height. The actual strut is a larger diameter then ef/ek's.

                    Pic: Ef left, eg right




                    The springs are total crap, and will actually RAISE the car. Either you need to cut the springs, or buy shorter ones like i did.

                    I have no camber kit in the front, but i do in the rear. Just a cheap ebay one.
                    Hope that helps you out!!!


                    Should i get these?

                              I'd like them to come in 15's for 5 lug cars. I like the 002's but those would probably look pretty sick on your ef, keep up the good work.

                                If I go with these I'm getting the 16x8.25's. But I'm not sure if I'll like the poke it gives. do you have any shots looking down the side of your car so I can better see the fitment?
