...even with the standard cross-spokes the car sits just nice - the way it should be, but then you've topped it off with ///M parallels - the car looks fantastic, well done! (Aaaaah ///M parallels, I love ///M parallels - I can't seem to get any aftermarket ///M parallels in Australia - I want ///M parallels!)

VERY NICE!!! My car envy's yours! You did exactly what I want to do. Sachs kit with M parallels!!

Just wanted to say thanks to everone on the board here. With the wealth of information I received here, I was able to make a very informed decision on the suspension package for my 530 as well as other projects.

It's easy enough to look on line and see what's out there, but good input from people who have real life experience with these things is priceless. This board is fantastic I look forward to chatting with you all for quite some time.

Regards,

Mark

Mark. The car looks great! Lot’s of questions for you.
How is your ride with the 18" M Parallels? I have read the rear has two setting what setting did you use? What size tires you are riding on? Did you go with the staggered rims?

[MantecaBMW]

The 18's are a bit unforgiving compounded with the kits initial stiffness. So it's a bit stiff in town, but great on the freeway.....settles down snd drives great.

I have the staggered wheels 8" front 235/40 and 9.5" 265/35 rears with Nitto NT555's....got a nice package deal from The Wheel Exchange. I was looking for 17's, but loved the look of the M Parallel's....always have.

For the kit, I took everyone's advice and moved the clip to the upper setting. It kept the rear at about the stock height. The kit itself is an easy install. The only complication was popping out the old ball joints.

Has anybody had the kit on for a decent amount of time? I believe they only come with a 1 year warantee...which kind of puzzles me on why it is so low.

i've had it for almost a year now
settles down nice
great in winter (my old shocks froze)

Was this a lowering kit? I posted this in another thread as well, but just in case anyone missed it...

To all lowered E34 owners... is there any way to correct the increased negative camber (on both front and rear tires) once you lower your car? H&R camber bolts?
