OK new guys, so you read all the stuff about upgraded suspension, wheels, lowering springs, upper and lower control arms, & 750 il bushings, but you still don't know what the hell Billsteins, H&R, Sachs, Lemforder, or M parralels are? Well, this is the thread for you!
I'm a new guy too, and a few weeks ago I decided to undertake this project. I wasn't sure if I could do it. But, after consulting some of the seniors here, they encouraged me to undertake this project. There is a lot of info on all of this stuff already, but I decided that it might be nice to take the next few weeks and build a thread about this stuff with really nice photo documentation and dummies questions answered. So, here goes....
P.S. I'm just gonna update this every few days as I have time. Everyone please feel free to chime in and offer expert advice. Still, my goal here is the completed tutorial so you can just consider this thread under construction for the next few weeks. And thanks for everyone's help!
OH YEAH, NEW GUYS! DON'T BE AFFRAID TO ASK DUMMIE QUESTIONS WHILE WE CREATE THIS FORUM OR THEY WON'T BE ANSWERED FOR FUTURE GENERATION E34 WRENCHERS.
First things first, I had to clean the garage and build some new shelves to get some of the crap out of the way
