My name is Earl, and I have a Stainless Steel bolt fetish =)

Is this what I need to get the ass down? http://www.nexternal.com/ireland/e30-rear-coil-over-kit-p732.aspx
-
yes and no, those will require a lot of reinforcement to the rear strut mounts, but it does run the strut inside of the spring which is nice and will give you more low
-
Use sports instead of HD's yo
-
you'll have to use shorter rear springs if youve removed the adjuster and its not low enough. take out the existing ones, measure them, then get 0.5" or 1" shorter. going to be like $90 or so for a pair.

Spent all afternoon yesterday afternoon and then today up until now cleaning inside. It looks okay. Wish it was cleaner but it is a ton cleaner than before.
At the end of Yesterday:




Where I picked back up today. Got a shampooer and got sick of doing the carpet. Here is step by step putting it all back in.

The hatch area carpet and sides are made out of that particle like material with a natty carpet and i cant get all the little snibbled out of it for the life of me. Id have to have a super sucking vaccum to get it all off. Hopefully I can put the rest of my time this next week polishing/sandin the Style 5 lips and reassembling the wheels.
-
car is looking super clean. cant wait to see those wheels done
-
Thanks. And I can't wait either. Lol I polished them three times already and noticed little lines making them look dull. Now I have to go back down to 220 to sand down sone machining lines and around the outer edge of the lip. Then go all the way back up to 2000 and then three different kinds of rouges:P shits annoying. Lol
-
are you going to clear coat them?
-
never heard of that stuff. looks like a great product.
-
Lots of sanding and polishoing and sanding has been going on with the wheels. I can't seem to get the finish I want. Always a little line I see that I take out. lol
But onto a question. My car needs paint. I have two colors I'm debating. It will either be Cosmos or Diamond. I like the idea of Diamond because I've never been a huge fan of black, but it won't match my jams and bay. Also because it only came on a very very small number of e36's. I was thinking Cosmos because it would match my jams and bay and would be metallic. It would also look really good in the light compared to plain gloss black.
So what do you guys think, Cosmos or Diamond?
P.S.- TJ, no smart ass comments=P lol
