Put in some e36 m3 H&R race springs, front and rear. Will test drive it in a week or so, looks better than it did, let's hope it rides nice too. Gotta get some new struts and shocks soon. | | | | | 06-01-2013, 05:02 PM | #2995 | | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2011 Location: Westminster,Maryland Posts: 159 |

Replaced rear rotors with Geomet pair. 1 nut was a pain in the butt, the other came right off easy with some liquid wrench

Replaced my summer tires with this year's latest, favorite rubber. They seem quite good. I hope Dunlop will export them, if for no other reason than to offer another possibility to consider.

Installed Front Strut reinforcement plates and adjusted the front coilovers down about 3/8". Also removed the adjustable rear spring perch (un-needed, only raised the rear about 3/4" too high). Just have to see how much it settles down now...

Finally all my parts arrived and I found some time.
finished up install of LCAs, bushings. struts, shocks, mounts, tie rods, sway bar links.
All buttoned up and ready to go to the alignment shop this afternoon.
Besides the struts being completely shot and leaking oil, the ball joints and rubber parts didn't look too bad. Although I am glad I did changed everything because at 18 years and 157K miles these parts are due to fail sooner than later.
I think I might too nice to this little car. | | | | | 06-07-2013, 03:02 AM | #3000 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2012 Location: Dodging potholes in SoCal Posts: 454 |
Did valve cover gasket and cabin filters today. Job took longer than I thought. I guess everything is harder to work on than a 2002. __________________
