    Anyone have recommendations for coils? I've been leaning towards CAtuned & have spoken with Collin about his... Anything else I should look at? Goals are not stants low, but will want it to be adjustable & stiffer than the crap I have. I figured coils over hr/billies because I could get different rates for the extra weight up front. I'll be running stock sway bars as well

        These are the ones I was kicking around.

        Might go with CAtuned for the whole core exchange thing/come welded/new wheel bearings

                Finally got the axles out of the hubs thanks to an impact

                Long story short the bearings are going to be replaced

                Just need to get the hub pressed out now

                  For coilovers i have Ksport Coilovers. They offer a setup for e30's that include "true rear" coilovers in the rear that i really enjoy in my drift e30.

                      I have a set of stance coilovers I may be interested in selling. I was very impressed by their ride and build quality.

                          Going to a friends shop tomorrow to use a press. If for whatever reason that falls through, what kit did you go with?

                            It cost around $100 from HF. Not sure exactly which one

                                      Went to a friends shop today that has all the necessary tools (20 ton press and the space is heated) we hammered out both hubs with a socket, extension & dead blow. Only one hub held on to an inner race. After the hubs were out we popped the snap rings out and pressed out the wheel bearings. We put the hub/inner race combo in a vise and slowly hammered it off after heating it (kind of a pain in the ass)

                                      Finished product before cleanup & por15

                                      8ab35439c107bd2dc7cdd3ab2347bfca.jpg

                                      Popped off the ebrake hardware and dust shields

                                      59bcc6186b08c0ebc5c52637e9adc6ea.jpg

                                      I will be cleaning up and re using the hubs per snaps advice

                                      1bf8c1e5dca41923e20195a7065fedf3.jpg

                                      5b147bec6494c08f9df5205219911937.jpg

                                      Can't feel those lines, but will be cleaning them up so they aren't visible

                                      While we were there we also got the old bushings out of my lollipops. Either tonight or tomorrow I'm going to burn out the rubber bushings from the trailing arms

                                      On Tuesday I get the last of my chassis reinforcements in and I'll be having those welded on by my friend. After all the welding is done I'll be cleaning them up to get everything ready for a few coats of por-15.

                                      Still need to get the axles off of the diff/clean diff etc.

                                      And still need to keep slowly collecting parts & address the rear brake lines and a bunch of other crap. It never ends

                                        What are you going to go for the hand brake? I saw that Wilwood makes parking brake calipers and I was thinking about fitting one

                                          What are you going to go for the hand brake? I saw that Wilwood makes parking brake calipers and I was thinking about fitting one

                                          Honestly. Probably nothing.

                                          I keep debating wether or not I should just put one back in 😕
