    This will look killer once it's on the ground. Very well done so far!

    Today i met up with Elijah Lane to have pictures taken of my car. The stage my car is in at the moment definitely understates the quality of these photos, but they still turned out great. Enjoy!























    And at this point you are probably wondering "but where are the coilovers" and i'm still hoping to get them soon but since the place I work at closed for the winter and i haven't been able to pick up my last checks yet so the funds aren't quite there at the moment.

    Yeah that price sounds about right for one of these. Sometimes they get up toward the $300 range depending on condition with fogs.

    A lot of my good friends have BC coils in their cars, they offer great adjustability and pretty good ride. Definitely go with the super lows though, im sure a few guys on here run them on their E28s
    Yeah i shot BC north america an email. I am 90% sure i am going with them instead.

    Okay so i just did a little research on CATuned coilovers and i'm getting very very mixed reviews. I've seen people really happy with them and others claim that they are low quality, re-branded coilovers. This leads me into thinking BC racing coils are a better option because they come with the sway bar brackets already installed unlike catuned coilovers and they are also supposedly cheaper. If the extra money was there i would go broadway static no questions asked but sadly they are out of my price range. Anyone else have any input?
