[Dan-ny-m398]

Thanks for the compliments , and I don't know if there are any problems I just installed them today.

What spring/shock combo did you use?

[Dan-ny-m398]

bilstein Shocks and vogland springs.

[Nick.Hay]

It looks ****-hot!!

You should tint the windows, and (maybe) smoke the lenses... Those dark wheels with the black paint look great!!

[Ted K]

Keep us posted on how it drives.

Very,very nice!

[brodee]

That looks great. Let me know how the bilsteins do with the vogtlands. I may end up putting them on mine.

I should have bought a black car :( Anyone want to trade??

[Jason]

[brodee]

That's the wife's car, I'm not allowed to sell it :(

[Jason]

[Ted K]

It's torn down at the present moment getting new suspension.

Back on topic.... What size tires are you running and if you get a chance can you measure all 4 of your fender arches from the ground to the arch through the center of the wheel. I'm curious to know how yours compares to mine with the stock shocks.

[Jason]

I'll get the tape measure out and get you the measurements as soon as i get a chance. I have H&Rs and bilstein sports if that makes a difference. Whate suspension are you going w. for the E30? you deserve credit for keeping your IS front spioler, it looks like you do a bit of autocrossing.

I'm curious what Danny's measurements are (on his car of course) since he has the same springs as me, but also curious how the H&R's stand up.

I'm putting in Ireland Engineering stage 3 race springs with the billstein sports. Also re-doing all the bushings front and rear and replacing all the brake lines, calipers, rotors, and pads. Next auto-x is October so I have some time to get it done.

[Dan-ny-m398]

Man that's a lot of questions I got, well sorry for the delay but I just got around check the thread again. OK the tire size are 245/45/18 in the rear and 225/40/18 in the front, I got to get bigger tires for the front , those are tires I had in my M3 and since this car is so much heavier I'm afraid it could damage my front wheels. as for ride confort I can't really tell you because my I haven't had a chance to drive it yet, My front brakes are sticking and I got the anti lock brake light on, I just drove around the corner and the brakes were red hot.

I got the Vogland springs for 200$ on ebay and I don't remember how much I payed for the shocks.

Southampton

I'm headed out to eastern LI this weekend. Don't see many enthusiast owned E34s out there. I'll keep my eyes peeled
