Thanks for the comments guys.
Cotty180, I also installed Bekker's lowering spring hats in the front to give me an extra 10mm of drop to give it the "raked" look.

That looks well nice
How does the 2.8 go, or are you still running it in?
How have you finished your rocker cover - paint, powder coat? Im looking for some inspiration on how to do mine.

Thanks, the stroker is finally broken in, runs strong with the m30 afm and 19# injectors but needs engine management, headers, etc...still
I sandblasted the valve cover, then used VHT wrinkle finish paint, finally used a rotec disk to polish the ribs.

The part that impresses me about your car and location, is the correct bumpers being used!
Lovin the dished wheels also.

Andy325i, the stroker setup is supposed to be right around 205-210hp with engine management/tuning, using Ross racing pistons, BMP cam, eta crank, worked head, Korman billet rocker arms, etc...
Jimbob, thanks, I like the US trim better with the lights in them, it's funny because in Europe the US trim is popular and in the US it's the complete opposite.

Sounds like a good setup. Should be a laugh to drive

Sorry to jump in but I asked him this a while ago....
wheels are Cr7's in 16x9 et 15 which can be purchased from tunershop.com
Would you need any archwork or other mods with 16's and 17's?
Defo the best looking rim I've seen on an E30

It's all about angling your car, I don't have anymore issues with clearance than with my old suspension, I take off the lip spoiler for extra clearance.

Beautiful car man, sits perfectly. I noticed it on your website a while back too, some great E30 photos on there

Thanks, took me a while to get it to sit just right, e30's look good with
rake.
