Had 1 of these sent to me to decide if I want them - and to check out sizing and offsets. More to report back tomorrow....

Step up! Those look great.

Damn, those look nice

Keep up the good work. I enjoy the updates

Hopefully the next couple weeks aren't too busy where I can get a lot done!

Did a quick test fit last night.... Wasn't quite where I thought they'd sit (I had measured these at about ET20 so was expecting a pinch more "tuck").

The original plan was to fill-and-redrill centers and swap the existing 1.5" lips for 3.00" lips. After the test fit though, I'm comfortable with 1" more lip.... Any more I think I'll have too much poke/camber to fit "perfect".

So looking at running 1" adapters (keeping current lips) and swapping barrels out for 1.5" larger. I found a guy last night in Canada with a set of barrels, just awaiting pics and pricing.

Should get me a 16"x9" all around, and have some "play" in the offsets using adapters. I'll have to wait and see on those barrels before making any decisions.... Onto the pics!

Well - this weekend sealed the deal on the E30 being put away for the winter. Schedule is already getting hectic with Christmas stuff, so likely won't get a lot done between now and New Years. More to come as parts arrive and we get passed the holidays!

Was in Milwaukee this weekend for a Christmas Party, and picked these up for a staggering $66 for the pair. I dont have the extra project money this winter to reupholster the original sport seats or get aftermarket seats - so these will work for one summer. A big thanks to xXxGOODKILLAxXx for the referral and info!!!

More like snowy...

They look to be in amazing shape, couldn't find a single rip or wear mark on them. I need to clean them up good and find 1-2 missing pieces in the slide machanism, but overall I could t be happier for the price!

Where in oshkosh are you?

[ClassE]

West side of town off Oakwood. You from around town? I see a bunch of e36's tooling around town - not a lot of older stuff though.

Well - now that Christmas is here and gone it's time to kick it into high gear on getting this beast ready for spring!

My brother got me a nice hardcover Bentley for Christmas, and I also got all new braided stainless brake lines from I.E.

CATuning coilovers should be here hopefully end of next week - and preordered my wheels today as well.

16"x9" 1 piece rollers. Nothing "special", but fit the budget and will look great for at least a year or so. Unfortunately they're not released yet, but I preordered one of the first sets which should be here in early March.

More to come as I get wrenching and parts arrive!!!

Called to pick up my new coils at FedEx ground in Oshkosh today.... Coils haven't been seen since they "left" their Sacramento hub last Friday.

Awaiting a call back - but I don't have a warm fuzzy feeling about this.

[DrLeadFoot]

That sucks.  I'd like to see those in person and how they ride when you get them.

[ClassE]

I'll snap a bunch of pics if/when I get them. I'm confident they'll get low enough for me, I'm hoping the dampening and spring rates are where I expect them.

Some shipping donkey at FedEx in Cali probably has them on his E30 already.

Started getting the interior cleaned up to go in. Seats are a PITA to clean because of the dimples, but are in really good shape!

[RamRod E28]

Got the same dimply leather swapped into my e28

[ClassE]

Suspension has FINALLY arrived. Pics to come tonight!!!

[Earl]

I better get some nudez of them texted to me=D
