[QUOTE=eethirty;1385637]You're all good, and it rides amazing, super stiff and i love it. there is not much travel in the rear and sometimes the struts bottom out if you hit a big bump or railroad tracks, but other than that its awesome.


Sweet, thanks. I'm looking to go about a few hairs higher than your current height, but you said the front struts tend to bottom out? Or the rears? Would stiffer spring rates remedy that problem?

NIce! I've always had a soft spot for early models...Question: How is your suspension setup holding up? Meaning, are the rear sport shocks strong enough to withstand how low you are? How's the handling?

Don't mean to sound annoying, I'm looking to run this exact setup in my E30 and would like some feedback. Thanks.

Hi Ian!

[eethirty]

Dont really have and changes to show right now. put some smaller tires on it in the rear because the old ones were bald and actually a size bigger than the fronts. other than that i've just been tinkering with the idle to dial it in. changes in spring! wheels, possible motor swap/turbo, poly bushings. here are some pics

So glad to see things being done the right way in terms of maintenance and everything, certainly looks like a nice start! Keen to see how it all goes.

yea for sure, I cant wait either haha

Nice looking E30...

whose Shock Absorber you use?, how much shorter than the original?...

Bilstein e30 iX in front with 440lb spring rates (3" shorter than stock) and bilstein sport shocks in the rear with 660lb spring rates.

E30 love is strong, got a Schwarz coupe of my own that's sitting on bilstein coils and im building either a set of bbs rm's for it or refinishing the ccw's it currently has, either way, GREAT job man, the swapped m20 looks clean as fuck

thanks man!

What front bumper is that? Looks dope asf.

They came on all the ES/IS trim cars.

Engine bay looks mint man. Can't wait wait to see whats next.

Me either haha

poly bushings make such a difference, i need to get around to my subrframe bushings. such a damn pain, and straight pipe is always fun

i know i cant wait!

subbed. ES valence is dope

thanks man!
