Kam... I think it's in Sheffield. A guy that bought it off the dealer I traded it to rang up a few months back asking all sorts of questions. He seemed really happy with it. I directed him to the Zone, but no show yet.

All it needed was a 2.7 conversion. winkeye

Dammit :cheese:

I can't decide whether to go 60/60 or 60/40 now :?

Is there anything that cures rear negative camber easily? :(

Because of the way its parked, the front seems low, but it isnt, its actually the same as t11mnf's on that '60mm spring post', Im not bothered about the back, infact i wouldnt mind it as it is in the pic, but the arches at the front have to fill up. I think coilovers is the solution, unless someone has other ideas?

It is an Autovogue Design AV3 front bumper. The AV3 Kit is based on the e36. The front fogs are e36 ones.

I don't think it's gonna be done for Aces :(

The negative camber with 60mm looks a bit stupid to me though unless it's on a car with a decent amount of power :duck:

I reckon out of all those Kam320i_cab's looks the best height. go for 60/40! 8) I reckon that 60/60 looks way too low at the back.

M_Sporter... :o :wan: :rock: winkeye :cool:

Geoff are you interested in selling those wheels? They're 17" aren't they?

Lowering definitely won't be done by Aces now as the car will be in my garage due to having no driver's window :roll: :evil:

Will be coming in my 316i turd.

m_sporter, they didnt make them in 18's for the e30 fitment but if they did, i would love a set. classic rim which suits the e30 like a dream.

17's still do the job though with a nice 60mm drop. 8)
