It looks ****-hot!!

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

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??

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.

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.

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.
