Hey everyone,
I just joined stanceworks and have been working on my e36 since I acquired it in June of 2013. Here is the progress so far.
First pic I took of the car after I picked it up from North Carolina for 3.5k.
First thing I did was replace all the amber lights with clears as well as acquiring some depo headlights. I then got the large dent fixed on the passenger door that can be seen in the first picture. After realizing that all four stock wheels were bent, I quickly purchased a set of ASA 17x8 wheels on a 225 tire. There cheap I know.
To convert it from a monster truck back to a car, I purchased a set of ISC coilovers from Bimmerworld. I encourage everyone with a BMW to go there for performance parts. Very good customer service.
I managed to buy a borla exhaust and afe intake from turner motorsport. I also replaced the door trim and front bumper with the ///M kit. Here in Virginia its been under 15 degrees for the last four days.
Now for the fun stuff.
I just purchased a set of AC Schnizter type 1 wheels ....17x9 et6 in the front and 17x10 et19 in the rear. I wanted a set of Hartge Splits but not willing to buy out of the country.
A set of AC Schnitzer center caps/stem caps are on the way
As you can see I'll def need a roll/pull in the front and rear. With the wheels installed, I'm only running -0.5 in the front and -2.0 of camber in the rear. I plan on getting a shim kit for the front as well as camber arms for the rear if needed. The ISC coilovers don't provide a large amount of negative camber.
I apologize for the low quality pics but my Nikon just broke. At this point, I am trying to figure out which tires to buy. I am thinking a 205/40 for the front and a 215/40 for the rear. I'm open to ideas or suggestions on my current setup. I will post again with updates when its all finished.

. These coilovers were a last minute thing and I work 2 miles from Bimmerworld so I decided to purchase these. The stock shocks were completely shot and there weren't even bump stops in the rear. But definitely looking into BWS or another stance suspension manufacturer.
