BMW E34, BC Racing coilovers + BBS RS Reps

[Byron]

How much more room do you have to thread the shock bodies down? Car is looking pretty good despite the reps, a few little things and it could look great.

[Vegardb]

what do you mean thread the shock bodies?

Current to-do list:
Spacers!
Remove trailer hitch
flare fenders
New rear bumper without hole
Fix drivers seat
Mtech front bumper and mtech side skirts
A locking diff
Bigger engine M50B25 maybe

[Byron]

The BC's you're supposed to lower the shocks in relation to the car, not lower the springs in relation to the shocks. People around here are idiots though and lower the springs and the shocks however they feel and post pictures, and it gives people a false idea about how low they (correctly) go.

I was wondering how much more you could lower the car by lowering the shock height, not the spring height. AKA how much further down can they go?

[Vegardb]

Not really sure, right now i have the correct spring preload. I'm going to take the bottom and top part apart because on the right front strut it started to get hard to adjust further down because for some shit down in the spindle or something.

I want to go even lower next spring, but now its winter time and winter wheels, funny thing is that i have real wheels for winter, and reps for summer Some old, worn Borbet A 7,5/9x16

what rear seat center console is that you have good sir? and is the hitch a factory setup? would you sell it?

[Vegardb]

The rear center console is original from a BMW M5 I dunno if its a factory setup, looks horrible, i really dont want to sell it, maybe ill keep it, just in case i need it

[Vegardb]

Boring update shopped it so i can see how its gonna look in the spring when the car has RS reps and is low again, now it has ugly Borbet wheels and much higher

[244Brick]

Looks DOPE

[Spirit]

[euro e28]

please excuse my ignorance but did the BC coilovers come with the spindle?

[Vegardb]

It's ment to be welded to an old spindle, but the shop i bought them from did the welding
