E39 Project

Well, it looks like I finally settled on my suspension upgrade/change. I like the car low, but hate that I smash bits under my car all the time. My KW V3's need a rebuild, so I was looking into otheroptions. I fully explored Air bags, and still feel they would be a good option, even in a performance sense, if done correctly, however I just couldn't pull the trigger, as I really like the coilovers.
So, I found a Company that builds air cyliders that a custom fit over the top of the coilover and allows the front of the car to be raised almost 2" at the push of a button. When the cylinders are in the down position, the coilover acts completely as it would normally. The unit only adds 1/4-1/2" in height and with the new hallow spring doesn't add any weight. It really is a cool set up.
So I am going to send the KW's out for rebuild, then to this company to get the install done, then they will bolt up to the car.
Hope to get more updates soon.

Kinda bummed that they don't make them for the rear of my car. We had an NSX in the shop with the system and it worked REALLY slick.

Well, it was good I asked him! Since he works mainly on italian and NSX stuff, he never even looked at the rear of an e39, and assumed it was shock/spring like the e30. I sent him some pics and he was all excited that he will be able to offer a full 4 corner system for the e39.

Word, I was thinking, "who the fuck just signs up to say, "is this thing done yet" that isn't even in the state! Madison sucks man.. Don't even get me started.. I'm not a fan of the people here. Other then that, this town isn't terrible. The roads could be smoother, but where couldn't they be!

Rowley, I'll be there this weekend to get stuff for my BMW. Then to Oshkosh till wednesday. Madison's not as great as you think. It's so hoodrat infested. I'm not making this shit up. This summer, come stay with me for a week, and you'll realize just what I'm talking about
