    Bought it about 2 months ago, been sitting since then.

    Sold the LSD, trans, and driveshaft to a BFC member in Madison a couple weeks ago.

    Here's an update; all of this should be going on in the next day or two :D

      Nice, I literally just did control arms, FCAB's, tie rods, and sway bar links on my e36.. Feels 100% better!

      What kind of springs are you running?

          Finally got my suspension installed :D

          15mm drop hats, IE springs, Bilstien sports. Not nearly as stiff as some people say it is, but its definitely noticeable over worn out stock pieces :)

          New rims will be coming this week hopefully :thumbup:

            Awesome! Can't wait to see what the new wheels look like! I need to get springs for my car quite badly... I've really been having a tough time deciding which to get.

              Thanks!

              I'm super stoked, this is the EXACT drop I was hoping for, perfect for me :)

              Going to modify the brackets on the corbeau's tonight to make them sit a little more upright, and hopefully fit a little better..

              Also did this today, they'll go on tomorrow :D Not perfect by any means, will look good from 10+ feet away lol

                    Yep, plan on it :)

                    Just gotta find a cheap one I guess, lotta things I "want" lol

                    Also, looking to possibly pick up a set of 15x6.5 ACS reps if I can sell my Style 5s and 16" contour reps soon enough!

                          My mind changes almost daily on wheels.. I was gonna buy some ACS reps off a R3V member, but then found out that after shipping they would cost me $570, then I'd need spacers/lugs for another $190, and then tires mounted/balanced would be another $320 minimum. That's way too much bank to drop on something I really dont "need"...

                          Swedish- If I knew I could find a matching rim anytime soon I'd be all over them! However, i know the moment I brought them home I'd see another set that'd I be crazy about..

                                As i just texted you, too expensive lol

                                It just wouldn't feel right to drop that much dough on rims... I still want sway bars and new seats ;)

                                  Out of curiosity, what size tires are on your weaves? I think I'm going to sell my 15x7 kosei's and just run my weaves instead, so I need to figure out what size tires I want.

                                    Say no to reps, go euro weaves if you're looking for something a little cheaper but better than "stock".

                                      I really dont want to drop much into rims/tires anymore, I've decided that this is going to be the year I finally get off my ass and do some trackdays with my bike. I need a suit, new helmet, and another bike lol

                                        Snapped some more pics for the heck of it, looking at either picking up FullBannana's koseis, another guy's BBS modas, or dropping huge bank on some RS001s that would leave me broke forever :(
