Just asking because for the cost of the caps at the dealer you can find the set of wheels with caps. IMO.

door panels are not cheap, that is if you find the right color and in good shape. Look on Ebay, there are a few there but in the 150-up range.

No it will not, m3 is dual exhaust inlet.

BTW just being on springs like Slow_Ti said is not gonna make you flush.. TRUST ME :D

Just be careful . The cat's o2 sensor sits pretty, once you go low there isn't going back..

Hes better of investing in coils if you want to flush and go higher if you need. These cars can go real low but you will not have much room for rubber.

if ur a Ballin on a budget, do some rokkor coils with m3 top hats. rear isn't fun, since you arent able to adjust the camber in the rear. Careful rolling the fenders.. i rolled too much and now have to do a 0 in the rear and about the same in the front.

Well here's the skinny I bought the car about 3 weeks ago when I bought the car I wasn't able to get it on a lift until maybe 2 3 days after but when I did I noticed that there was bilstein shocks all the way around an some lowering springs in the back but theres stock springs in the front (so in the front there's a 4.5 in gap n sits retarded now) so the reason why I didn't go w coil overs was for the simple fact it has a really good ride...I bought H.tech springs I've heard from close friends that there great hopefully there right

I've driven on those springs and they're horrible. ;buddy has them on his acs e36, I love my coils way better drop and kinda gotta know if u wanna go low then coils.

I have D2 coils set all the way down and I'm very low. My frame rails are sitting on the ground. And I'm flush. But your gonna need coils.

First thing I would do is change all, and I mean all, the fluids and filters in the car. Do that and you've just bought yourself some cheap insurance against major mechanical failure. Not saying failures won't occur, but you have lowered the odds that they will anytime soon. Welcome to the ti club!

fortunately the previous owner did all that before he sold it luckily he had the receipts
