I am also proud to inform that my rear toe modification on the rtab carriers worked flawlessly.

after my alignment my final specs were

Front: -4 degrees of camber with factory toe. and 5 degrees of caster.
Rear: -5 degrees of camber with factory toe.

its a relief to have the toe on point, as i **** the bowed in look that many e36s get when they run alot of camber.


I am installing my clutch this week. and preparing the car to go to the body shop soon. I also registered for offset kings Irwindale so i have a lot of small details i want to address, mostly in the interior.

here is finally a picture good enough to show the color of my wheels

so i installed my spc camber arms and i decided to change my trailing arm bushings and modding the carrier to allow zero toe in with the negative camber i need.

my wheels should be on next week. i still need to remove the sealant on my rear fenders and do some fender work and get an alignment.

I preferred the old colour more :-/.

i got tired of the white. i think once i have it all setup right the new wheels will look great
