    Mate, that looks HOT! Well done!

    Much of a difference in road feel?

    750il master cylinder
    e36 m3 front control arms with e30 m3 control arm bushings combined to double the caster and center the wheel in the well
    bilsteins
    4 front m-coupe/roadster rims
    m-coupe axles hooked to e28 stub shafts going into the stock 3.73 posi
    the abs system works (with a little work)
    ride ain't too bad it's better then a e36 m3 but not too much better
    all the way up to a full abs stop it's straight with no pull
    took right at 10 hours by myself (had a helper to stab in the bolts while i held the rear arms)
    in the future ill get some cross drilled rotors and ceramic pads
    body roll has just about been squashed
    can't wait for a dry road to really flog it

    You and I are EXACT opposites.

    I respect very much your mechanical ability, quite amazing. But I've got to laugh about how it looks...I'm sure it will take quite a few people by surprise.

    My '85 Cinnabar E30 will someday get that suspension. Give me three years.
