I have been waiting to see a new e90 wagon build thread. I dailyed my wife's e90 330xi for awhile before we sold it and have driven the non X version of the 330 as well. The earlier generation x versions really drive like dogs, I am glad you went RWD, especially in sunny California.

Keep it up!

mmmmmmmm sportwagon. LOVE IT!

I really need to pull the trigger on that air jack setup. Been eyeing it for a while now.

This thread is so perfect e nicely build, like this wagon

I love it, this is an inspiration for my next daily, keep it update please!

Yes I love wagons! Dude I dig it a lot, like a lot. I wish my magnum had roof rails I'd love to rock a box up there. JDM wheels are that much more awesome not on Japanese cars.

Amazing! Eibach really does have great customer service.

MWAHAH

I am liking your roof box way too much, im gonna see how much snacks I can fit inside of it this weekend hahaha.
Dude u put some mega work into ur thread, looks fresh my man!



But seriously thank you for letting me use it.

No worries dude. Im glad you're enjoying it.

This is so cool, you have too many great cars!

Thanks man. Its been a long process.

Love the functionality of your setup, wagon looks spot on!

Thank you. Thats what I'm going for.

UPDATE

Good news.

All the Eibach stuff came in.
They did an amazing job rebuilding the struts and their customer service was great. The person I talked to was super knowledgeable and he understood what I wanted from the suspension. I talked setup with them and I figured out what I wanted to run.



New spring set up. Helpers in the front and rear.



6 inch 500lb Springs in the front. 500lb is about 9k



8 inch 1000lb Springs in the rear. 1000lb is about 18k



If some of you are wondering why its such a huge spring jump from front to rear is cause the rear is running inboard springs. You're suppose to double up from the amount you really want to run. So this set up is actually 500lb front and rear if it was true rear coilover.



Rear struts look brand new. The lines look new, the copper washers/seals are new, the bodies themselves look repainted and who knows what interior stuff they did. Oh and of course they got repressurized. So good.







As for the fronts, the bodies look really clean, I can see the new blue seals around the shaft, Im sure some internal stuff got changed and again, they also got repressurized.



What blew my mind was the attention to detail. One of my front strut tabs got ripped off. I told them nothing about this... Someone welded me a new tab on. Im honestly blown away.



The complete kit





Thanks Eibach USA. From the time they left my hands till the time I got them back, it's been a total if 12days (including shipping). Crazy.

Ready for the weekend to get here so I can put them on.

Wow, that rear fitment is absolutely perfect. Slight stretch to tuck the tires in.
Any rubbing? I assume you've probably rubbed through your fender liner and whatever tab(s) there were/are there? haha.

No rubbing at all. When I swap out the coilovers, I will post photos of what I cut on the inside to make everything fit. I **** not running fender liners so I still have them in the front and rear on all our cars.

UPDATE
I got roofbox jacked

My buddy got a roof rack for his E36 M3 and he really wanted to try out the roof box. By the way he said goodbye when he left, I feel like I might never see the roofbox again. haha



I left naked driving around today with no box on the roof. Awkward

[Nuts]

Very very nice.
