That was kind of harsh crash. But I understand how you feel. Sorry diablo but this is the kind of sh!t that gives us ti's a bad name. And m3 badges on the boot. __________________

I understand... to each their own.
My 318 doesn't look all that ricy when next to my wife's 07 ion.
The ion is a daily driver for her instead of her gas eating 73 lemans.
As for outragous take a look in "my garage" at my 87 cutlass | | | | | 05-11-2012, 08:23 PM | #2344 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 |

As for outragous take a look in "my garage" at my 87 cutlass | i didnt say outrageous....you gotta understand, 318ti enthusiasts are not looked upon in the bmw community all that seriously BECAUSE, they are amongst the cheapest models and people were more likely to do dumb things to them. and considering how few of them are actually around, 1 tacky ti pollutes the pool more than it should __________________

The car you choose to drive tends to be (but not always due to budget and family considerations) an expression of an indivuals personal taste. Bottom line: If it runs and you love it that is all that matters. | | | | | 05-11-2012, 09:18 PM | #2347 | | Member Join Date: Mar 2012 Location: Canada Posts: 34 |

What kit did you get? It doesn't look right to me, seems like the strut is centered too far forward which effects caster. What are you trying to accomplish with the camber plates? Stock alignment specs? __________________ ~Dave~

Yes, center of the strut should be to the rear of the opening for more caster.
That will drive really strangely the way you have it- a lot of wandering on the road and worse the faster you go (AKA: dangerous).
You probably need to swap sides.
The factory ones have an arrow pointing forward. | | | | | 05-12-2012, 03:22 PM | #2355 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2011 Location: SoFla Posts: 482 |
