    Looking at this I think this must be a common problem on the tourers as a lot of them I see driving around have their noses in the air.
    Either that or thats the way they're made.

    BrandonJ: I'd appreciate if you get me the link to the sachs kit. Thanks

    How did you 'delete' your rear levelling suspension now I've just seen you have?

    Not just a problem with the tourers. I noticed a lift in the rear and greater than 'advertised' drop in the front after changing the very tired stock suspension for an eibach / boge upgrade.

    Huge difference

    No... that is NOT how they are made... with nose up in the air. Figure out what you need first. I would not trash your self leveling thing. Most of the time, you just need to replace the air spheres.

    Anything in Canada that won't cost me a long distance charge?

    Ferret: I removed all the spheres and lines, and joined the sending and return lines from the power steering resevoir together. And I replaced the Shock for regular ones without the self leveling.

    Tiger: All the lines we're rusted, leaking, as were the spheres and the shocks too.

    Dave M: How much was the Eibach/Boge upgrade

    thats wicked sick, I'm getting it painted in the next couple weeks. I was wondering if you could photoshop what its going to look like on the dropped picture you did. I tried on paint but I suck, so whatever.

    The bumper impact moldings that go all the way around car are getting painted Estoril Blue. The grill surround, the center of the hood, the roof between the roof racks and down the hatch in Estoril Blue. Also, the Wheels are getting the lines Estoril Blue.

    If you could incorporate the M5 Fender Grills in there too it would be great. Chrome the Front Grill And one last thing. I have hood vents. Here are the link to all the pics you'll need:

    My version in Paint
    17 Wheels...the lines in the middle of each spoke to be blue
    Vents for the Hood - See My version for placement
    M5 Fender Grills - Pointy Side on top facing forward

    EDIT: Could you also shadow line the chrome around the windows (black trim) Thanks a lot.
