Suspension:
Eibach Pro-Kit springs
E36 bump stops
Shaved OEM strut mounts

It feels good to be back on LMs. Had them on the E46, and fortunate to have them on the E90. While I would love to lower the front more, the splash pan already scrapes on everything, so no coilovers for me. These ride exceptionally well coupled with the PS2s. I really am impressed with the ride of the Eibachs and 20s, thought it would have been a lot rougher. Had 21"s on my E60 M5 with H&Rs and THAT was rough. The best part........ No rub! Even with the aggressive rear fitment!

Looks kinda familiar

I love M3's on LM's, your car looks great

After seeing your pictures, I kinda wish I had gone for the more aggressive rear fitment like you.

Can't go wrong with those wheels.

Loving the roof rack

Wow!

Justin(OKC) · 03-25-2012, 07:38 PM

Awesome!

This makes me question how I can have a wheel that is 9mm less aggressive and yet I'm rubbing. There are times that I really think that my car is a bastard child as the general rules just don't seem to apply to it. I'm thinking I need to take the car to a good body shop and maybe have some trimming done.

Your car looked great when I saw you at Rogue!

Slow_335i · 03-25-2012, 11:15 PM

Nasty looking! (In a good way)

RT8_M3 · 03-25-2012, 11:49 PM

Perfect set up. Wouldn't change a thing!

Trevor .:R · 03-26-2012, 12:56 AM

Sick ride! I think i would drop the car a tad more with some Kw sleeves or v3s! Overall sick setup e90s + Roof rack = LOVE

HaroldC · 03-28-2012, 02:18 PM

Thanks for the compliments!

@talontid - The lens has 2 layers of red tail light tint. It's decent match in low light, but in bright sunlight, it's definitely too bright. Going to see if one layer of smoke tint and one layer of red will do the trick. The real problem is the tail lights are a kind of tinted candy apple red, and the only red tint available all seems to be the same shade of red.

@Justin - Not sure why you're rubbing and I'm not. I was actually preparing for rubbing and was looking into having the fenders rolled and more negative camber dialed in. Fortunately, I didn't have to do that. Always loved your car's stance with the LMRs.

@Straz - What's going on man? You gotta tell me when you're back in town and headed to the shop, I'll meet you out there. Hope all is well for you bud.
