Nice score on the e34! Hit me up if you need parts... I have 4 e34s lol. Also Jom makes bolt on coilovers that I ran and was very happy with them. They were only $500. For daily driving they were perfect!

I know they do, but they do it on legit coilovers. The e34 would be getting home built coils since the cheap garbage is $800-$900. I could select any springs and rate I want then, but it all comes down to cost to build them.

you wouldn't if you went stiff. guys run that type of fitment all the time. I'll tag you on ig

[Earl]

It isn't that that is throwing me off. It is the size of the wheels and how low it would have to be to look good. I don't mind being that low but I do not want to ruin the lips of the Breytons running static fitment like that.

You guys crack me up=) Allen did this photoshop:



Breytons on the e34 look off to me so it most likely will not happen=) Plus, they were built just for the compact and it would be like an affair to put them on the e34.

Looks off, because the wheels aren't completely centered. That was the first thing that through it off for me, but it looks good!

It actually looks quite good on the Breytons

Lower all the things.

Fixed.




Nice!

[Earl]

Not now. lol Eventually it'll get some home built coils

[Evil Panda]

Lower it.

[Earl]

Thank you=) It has been good to me so far

[244Brick]

congrats on the purchase!

I didn't make it out to the shop this weekend like I wanted to, but I did pick up my new daily....



1992 525i, 5 speed, tan interior with black heated seats and black door cards swapped in, ellipsoids, and all rear (poly) and front suspension refreshed (minus strut assemblies).

It is such a comfortable highway cruiser and is actually sipping less fuel than I thought it would, which is a plus=D

I will be out at the shop this weekend at the latest, but might stop in a few times during the week to look at a few things.

I sent ECS a message yesterday about my hubs binding/making contact with the inner dust caps and they told me they would get right on the issue. I was expecting them to take a week or so, but I got an email from them just now already.

Here is what they had to say:

"Earl,

Thank you for your patience. We have not had this issue before with the SKF wheel hub. Based on the pictures, you may have received a mislabeled part (an incorrect part in the correct box). If you compare the hub you have received with our website, it looks vastly different. I truly apologize if this is the case and will work to correct the problem quickly.

I would be happy to set up an exchange for the correct hub. Alternatively, you may wish to purchase the correct hub up front and return the incorrect one for a refund in order to receive it sooner. I could run the same credit card authorization on the new order. I will provide free shipping and a return shipping label to cover all costs. I do apologize for the inconvenience.

I will have our warehouse confirm the replacement part matches our website photos before shipping. This will ensure it is correct this time.

Please let me know how you wish to advance and I will set it up accordingly."

This is the exact reason why I continue to order through ECS when other people say "they suck" or "I **** ECS". I have never had an issue and they are always there to satisfy my needs.

SKF messed up and put the wrong part in the wrong box and instead of ECS referring me to deal with SKF, they are taking it upon themselves. I am very happy and cannot wait for the new hubs to come. Now to figure out how to remove these hubs without having to destroy them.

On a side note I tried fixing my crank pulley that I bent Saturday, but it looks like it is too bent to save so I am on the lookout for another one to use...

Also, the prelude might be sold today and the new daily picked up Sunday=D
