The Full Banana Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 This thing has been a bit neglected over the past few months with how busy I've been with the 242, but I gave a little bit of love today. Eibach springs, Koni SAs, and the CSLs are on. Did brakes a couple months ago and it's going to be getting a bunch of preventative maintenance shortly. This car has served as a pretty good benchmark for how well things are coming along with my Volvos. At first this car was way better and served as the ideal, but now it's lagging way behind the Volvo in pretty much every way. I guess the Volvo is pretty good now... Anyway, I'll shut up and maybe toss occasional pictures in here in the future, but I really have very few plans for this car as far as modification is concerned. Maybe I'll post a MODZ list.

Bassboy3313 Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Looking good Tom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc43089 Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Looks good, 325 I assume? How many miles? I have Eibach springs as well and am very happy with the ride, I got mine as a kit with the shocks, the shocks have a sticker on them that says made for Eibach by Sachs.

The Full Banana Posted May 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 94 325is 5spd. 109k on it now. Had 90k on it a year ago when I bought it, and this year was the first winter it has seen. I need to roll the rear fenders and soften up the konis a bit. They are adjusted too stiff to match these fairly soft springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc43089 Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Wow, low mileage, mine has 238k. Yea the Eibachs are not super aggressive, I assume the shocks that come with them are revalved OE shocks, they go together very well. Not adjustable though.

Ryan... Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Got any more pics from different angles perhaps? I've got a pretty much free set of 225/40/18 tires, and before I sell them I would consider picking up some 18's for my car. I cant decide if I like 18's or 17's more...

The Full Banana Posted May 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 This is the only picture I have right now, sorry. Maybe I can grab a few more today. In general, I wouldn't have gone for an 18" wheel for this car, but I already had these here with good tires so I decided to throw them on and it turns out I like it. I also have a set of DS1s that I may throw on if I sell these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan... Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Gotcha, after googling it I'm pretty sure I'll stick with my plan of getting 17's down the road. Cheap 18" tires be damned.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
