Very nice. I'll be doing those bushings soon.
How difficult was dropping the rear subframe?

Subframe was easy to drop out. Bushings were a pita to remove but if you have the right tools it's much easier.

I'm sure the subframe isn't too crazy on a lift. Couldn't imagine the pain in the ass it would be on jacks.

Ordered my ground control coilover conversion kit with camber plates and custom spring rates. Plus tires showed up for the wheels I am having built right now.

Polished the inner tips on the MPE. Looks much better IMO!

I used a combination of steel wire brushes attached to a cordless drill. Once the paint was removed I applied Brasso metal polish with a microfiber towel. The inner tips now have a brushed titanium look that I think looks much better than the aged black paint that was there prior.
As for the brushes, I used a flat 2" fine wire brush to get most of the paint off. Switched to a 1" fine wire brush for the inner opening and edges. Last, cleaned up the crevices and grooves with the black paint overspray with a dremel carbon steel wire brush. I read that some others used paint strippers, but I didn't need them with the wire brush attachments. I think they were doing it by hand. |

I used fishing line to cut the oem tape. Then you can use a heat gun and slowly remove any left over tape. Then some grease/wax remover will pull any left over residue off.

Installed a 1M power steering reservoir in my E92M so I don't have to deal with seeping fluid under G loads:

Installed my euro Depo tails:
Quality is way better than what the haters will lead you to believe. At $400 shipped for a brand new set, it's way worth it. ![]()
