Work in progress e39

[keith2]

What up guys...just showing my e39 as of now. Havent done much to it yet but got some ideas. Its dropped on NNR coilovers, front and rear are maxed out so I dont wanna hear it that it needs more low lol. Gonna decide which wheels and what size I wanna go with before I get shorter rear springs and maybe pull the front helper springs. If you have any ideas for wheels let me know!

Future plans include:
M5 rear bumper
Exhaust
Wheels (undecided)
Possibly a color change with full plasti-dip
Tint
Finish stereo build
Some interior changes (sport seats, and some suede accents/re-wrapping)

Goal is just a clean, low fun car to daily. Nothing too crazy.

PICS!







So ya...there it is! Just seen that bumper crack today...kinda sad about it but oh well, shit happens :/

Nice, I am a huge fan of that color on e39s.

How do the nnr's ride?
I was thinking about getting some but i got bluelines instead, mostly because I didn't want that crazy rake.
The height of my coilovers are about the same, as opposed to the nnr's where the rear shocks are like 4 inches longer than the front :l

Also if you have any question about an audio setup in this car I'm fairly knowledgeable, I'm re wrapping my fabric in the interior because my subs (sundown sa-12's) peeled it off the panels that cover the pillars.


oh and welcome to s|w!

Thought I would update a little. Back on 12/31 I went and picked up some style 124's...specs are 18x8 et20 and rears are 18x9 et32. Used a 8mm spacer front and rear for et12 and et25. Tires are huge so I cant space them out just yet. Plans are to run a 215/40 on the front and 225/40 rear and see what size spacer I can stuff in there. I want more drop out of the rear but coilovers are already maxed. Might just raise the front a tad to compensate...or hack a coil off each spring. Undecided so far.

Also got my hands on a roller so in the next couple of days Ill get around to rolling the fenders...it scrapes and rubs all over the place lol. Once thats done Im going to start some interior stuff. Wrapping the headliner, a,b, and c pillars, park brake boot and shift boot all in grey suede. Also with my tax return I might be getting a full plastidip spray done in the greyish blue audi color I seen on an r8 just the other day.

On to pics of the new rolling stock







More pics and maybe some rolling video coming soon! Im no photographer and Im not quite sure what Im doing with my camera but Ive been shooting more and more and just having fun with it so expect more!

Nice looking car, clean and like the stance.

You should take the collars out in the rear!! IMO it would sit better unless you want to raise the front to match the front's fitment, which i don't think you do. So, do it!! lol

get some sick wheels

Thank you! Loving your's aired out, super jealous man! lol

So just remove one of the adjusting collars all together? That wont really gain me much and its not really worth all the trouble of removing the rear coils for a marginal gain haha. I have stock e90 front springs that are 12" long that I might try as well...the NNR springs are 15" long I would guess so that will get me lots more low but I gotta look into using a front spring pad in the rear

get some sick wheels

Im diggin these OEM wheels actually. Money is sorta tight so Im working with what I got and can afford

Oh hey bud, looks good!

Hey thanks man! Glad you talked me into the NNR's!

[amichaels]

[244Brick]

Well yeah that's what i was thinking, but i think sorter springs would be better
