The Official Low-Budget Non-Baller Stance Thread!

[Dane]

im just about ready to lower the black car. i have:
-billy sports
-cosmo coils
-rear shock mounts
-front upper strut mounts
-urethane TAB's
-urethane diff mount bushings
-urethane subframe bushings.

the car already has urethane CAB's, but i think i blew out a ball joint or something. i haven't been driving it because the steering is all crazy and scary. i don't have any wheels to put on the car though..

[mrx928]

Back from the dead, but a bit more dialed in.

[DutchStance]

Can i play?

Painted is myself, raceland coils, sum unknown brand wheels, and a roofrack with a coca-cola krat...

Result, less than a inch ground clearance with the subframe, daily driven...

[Scotrod]

Mine so far

[discoduck]

B&G springs, 16x8. gonna cut some coils and throw 15mm spacers on

[Geoff.T]

Mine:

IE stage 3 springs. Cut in front, still not enough.



I'm still into the car for less then a set of coilovers though.

-Bought the car dirt cheap from a small dealer that had no idea what he had (needed a lot of tlc) $50 worth of plastic welder and paint, $12 in upholstery dye
-AMG springs installed back in the 80's in Germany, I put in $20 shortened spring pads
-I refinished the AMG splits myself, already had the paint, $100 for OZ wheel tools. $200 set of Federal tires.
Lots of blood, sweat, and time.

didn't realize so many people here cut their springs. wish I could say mine was budget but the suspension has costed me like 1800 and I don't even have wheels yet

[KürBFèéleR]

^ Lmao, thats kinda funny. i didnt kno that either. 1800 is alota gwap...whew...

[metale]

To the BMW guys with cut springs, what shocks do you run? I need low ASAP, but been quoted 800 euros ($850-900) for a new set of bilstein sports.

[Okin]

Bought used complete suspension with less than 3k on them (Bilstein/Eibach's)

Tires will be changed soon, but $100 (local enthusiast) for all 4 wasn't a bad deal to get the O.Z.'s on the car to get an idea of width.

Might be swapping another member for coilovers soon, and getting 215 & 235/40's to replace what's on here now. I can't wait.

Mirrors, front bumper cover and headlights were around $400 all together. With paint and install by us.

[foforit02010]

$2000 with car , wheels , and cut springs

[LuckyH]

Been trying to save up for Springs/Coilovers. Just had my pinion seal take a crap on me, so I decided to go ahead and put 4.10's in while it's getting fixed. There goes my money...again lol. Thinking about just cutting the stock springs I have laying around and seeing how it sits by doing that. Currently I have vogtland springs. Wheels are 18x10 +40 all around
