This is the exact stance I was aiming for.. except I failed miserably so far. I didn't get wide enough wheels. I also see you feel the pain of having white rims. The dirt and brake dust get in those corners and is a bitch to clean.

Are those rims that wide or are you running spacers?

17x9.75 et25 Nope, no spacers.

Good question^
And good work on the car man..as with any build, it will start mostly a mess or nothing fancy, its the transformation that counts and looking back at where you started..that's what makes a build..any build..special.
Not all bmw owners are ass's BTW
keep up the good work I'm diggin' those new wheels, would like to see the rear spaced to at least match the poke of the front if not more..some maybe 15 or 20mm spacers could do the trick..otherwise looking good! And props for being different with that exhaust

Yeah, I'm working on getting the front lower so I can dump the rear + space it out + camber it to match what the front will look like.
Thanks.


I duct taped my fender.

Front camber will be achieved via strut mounts + cam bolt. Rear will require more work; twist beam suspension, yo.

I've thought about slotting the strut mounts and moving the ball joint... but instead of that I could get my hands on a Grand Am GT, steal parts from that (control arms are a bit longer, and aluminum FTW), I would also swap the rear independent suspension from the GAGT, giving me more suspension travel and adjust-ability.

I'm on Tokico D-specs, Ground control sleeves, Eibach coils, OverKillEngineering mounts. Front coils are maxed, rears are spun all the way up. Getting lower means I gotta do some cutting / welding in the front.

tl;dr.

What design are the lowers strut mounts? He could just slot the bottom hole to adjust that bolt back and forth.

Sooo when is this camber going to happen, I'd really like to see how it looks with that and more low. Which by the way, how are you achieving this?

[Verdigrie]

I quite like it. I've only seen cavaliers a handful of times when I've been in the states and always thought that they had potential; a bit ham fisted from the factory but potential none the less.

It's looking good so far, with the right mix of expected and "fuck it, it makes ME happy" mods. In for more

ruin that 240 yet?

It's still sitting in the garage, needs a handful of work. PO and PO before him did a number on it.

Well you'd hope there is enough drain holes because if that exhaust gets filled to the brim with water, that would mean you would actually have water in the engine through the exhaust valves...

Yeah... not worried about it one bit.

What if someone got a garden hose and filled that exhaust with water....

It would drain out the drain holes.
