winter's over

tiFreak · 03-30-2010, 03:24 AM

my ti is finally coming out of hibernation on Wednesday, can't wait to finally stop driving my crap-tastic Outback

my birthday was on the 25th and I got $1000 from my grandfather too, which means my car is finally going to get lowered

my shocks came from Bavauto today

just waiting on springs and RSMs from BimmerWorld now, I'm so excited to finally get back into my ti

Congrats Brendan! H&R Race and Bilstein Sports are by far my favorite combo. This is going to give you a very nice drop and a comfortable ride. I'm sure you're going to love it.

Sweet! Bavauto has got some great prices. And no shipping costs.

Pics when your done please.

Nice suspension upgrade.

Maybe you could list some part numbers on this thread?

ajoystick · 03-30-2010, 05:13 PM

dont forget to add an "x" brace, made a noticeable differance on my ti after installing the billy-H&R setup

the awakening · 03-30-2010, 07:22 PM

Where'd you get your race springs from?

StealthBimmer · 03-30-2010, 08:22 PM

Congrats on the upcoming set up! Finally will look PIMP around town in VT!

I looked around and they have the best prices I've found for Bilstein sports and no shipping or sales tax, and they're pretty close to me so I don't have to wait too long for parts, definitely a clear winner for me

that's a whole lot more than I usually get, I think it was just because it was my 20th

the numbers for the shocks are
FR: F4-VE3-4403-H1
FL: F4-VE3-4402-H1
R: F4-B36-2027-H1

not sure about the springs, I'll have to wait until they get here

as long as I don't tear my bumper off

I was going to get the TC Kline kit with the adjustable Koni shocks, but I had heard from a couple auto-x guys on a local forum that the adjustability is somewhat overrated, so I just went with the Billies

You did good. For daily driving and the occasional autocross/DDE, you can't go wrong with this setup. You're gonna need to be more careful pulling in and out of driveways. My front bumper and undercarage scrapes and the front two jackpads got ripped off, but once you get used to it, it's not that bad.

tiFreak · 03-31-2010, 01:13 AM

yeah, I'm a little concerned about my street and driveway since they're kind of odd angles, guess I'll have to go slow for the first few days

tiFreak · 04-01-2010, 02:28 AM

today was my last day driving my Subaru

got the ti out, and put insurance on her, then I installed my LED taillights and knockoff-ACS ebrake handle, I'll try to get pics Friday when it's light out

also got my RSMs in the mail, but no springs, it's odd since I ordered both from Bimmerworld but I guess I'll wait and see what happens, they might have just been shipped separately
