GunMetalGrey Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Speaking of wheels, I FINALLY picked mine out, I am so picky about wheels.... Almost bought one just to commit to it lol. No I will not tell you what they are, and there will be a lot of teaser pictures when I get them just because I love suspence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted March 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Anybody got the tools or tips for paintless dent removal? I've got some easy looking ones I want to try and get out. A few dings in my roof and hood too=\ I am also looking for someone who can paint the front half of my car and touch up some spots;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted March 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Working on the lips with my dad and getting them as good as possible. Some small nicks from the guy who bought them from TJ so ill have to deal with them. Otherwise I ordered my secsy valve stems and caps today and have a few more things to do before assembling them;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan... Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I like to save everything for once as well, makes you feel like the car is completely new, rather than building piece by piece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl Posted March 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Is this what I need to get the ass down? http://www.nexternal.com/ireland/e30-rear-coil-over-kit-p732.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunMetalGrey Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 yes and no, those will require a lot of reinforcement to the rear strut mounts, but it does run the strut inside of the spring which is nice and will give you more low Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted March 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Hmm...I may have to do this eventually. Might actually go air in the back. Right now I just have the Rokkor springs and removed the adjuster all together with the bilstein HD's and the top of my arch is still 23" from pavement.

GunMetalGrey Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Use sports instead of HD's yo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted March 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 That won't get me lower though will it? =P They aren't fully compressed when it on its feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasnt m3 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 It's plenty low...not to mention, you don't have your wheels on yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted March 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 ^That'll be the deciding factor;) I measured my tires and from tread to tread it is 23". That's my arch to ground height. With the wheels at about 3-4 degrees of Camber, I should be tucking fairly decent tire right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted March 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 This is not me whatsoever. I've never spilled or brought debris into my car....there were crayons melted under my shifted console. I stripped the rear down to metal for cleaning. I'll take an after tomorriw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straight6pwr Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 you'll have to use shorter rear springs if youve removed the adjuster and its not low enough. take out the existing ones, measure them, then get 0.5" or 1" shorter. going to be like $90 or so for a pair.
