Sad to see the Takata Green Volks go. I loved your car with them.

Switching up the wing?

Yeah I was sad to see them go but I am not a "multiple" wheel guy. I had the TEs for over two years. Time for a change and time to make my German car a little more "German".

I do hear that. The JDM thing was never for me, though I'm a sucker for color-match TE37s.

Looking forward to seeing your car in the flesh someday.

Did the car ever get named? Kappas are those turtles the Mario Brothers are always stomping on.

Time for some tweaking. I was getting a tiny bit of rubbing on the rear with my 285/35/18 RS3s.

IMG_0764 by JMEllis, on Flickr

Clearance is actually okay but the toe setting from left to right had gotten a little out of whack causing just a tiny bit of rub on the left side.

IMG_0767 by JMEllis, on Flickr

Time to get the car in the air.

IMG_0768 by JMEllis, on Flickr

While on jacks I noticed that the rear spring perches had become a little worn from the various adjustments over the last two years.

IMG_0770 by JMEllis, on Flickr

I saw no exposed metal but I had some 3M filler laying around and figured I would feed my OCD.

EDIT: So be advised this stuff will form a bond with the height adjuster. I let the stuff dry overnight before putting the height adjuster back in but it formed a bond nonetheless so if you want to avoid this go another route. Thinking about it now painting over the exposed areas and using a large rubber isolator would have worked well. I am okay with it and I doubt the bond is very strong.

Heres another thing I have been working on. When installing my ESS SC I needed to slightly re-route a wire to avoid it getting crushed between the intake and the wheel well. With its normal wire clip removed, I didn't want it vibrating through my paint. So I added some stick on foam.

This is what years of vibrating wire did to my silver E36 M3.

Great work from these guys as usual. That signal green is amazing.

Beedub · 01-02-2015, 02:47 PM

man i love those wheels!!

OP can i ask , how come your rear perch mounts got like that?? my KWCS have rubber isolators in this location which the adjustable spring perch sits on, are you saying this wore through basically??? may be something i need to check, my OCD senses have just spiked as well!!

Mine didn't have isolators. Maybe I need to check my OE suspension and see if I missed something. I did put isolators on the bottom though. Maybe I should switch them. But with the 3M filler on the top and the rubber on the bottom I think I am set.

They just wore through due to the adjustments, vibration, who knows.

W Cole · 01-03-2015, 01:29 AM

Did you adjust the toe? Would be interested to see how you measured that..

Yes, I did not do it scientifically, however. I need to get a professional to do a proper alignment but I need the rubbing to stop to protect my quarter panels. So I added a little more toe-in on the drivers side rear to get me by till I can get back to MRF.

Beedub · 01-03-2015, 06:59 AM

OP different platform, my z4m kw CS kit using a progressive cone spring with the adjuster up top, above the adjuster is a rubber isolator to stop this very thing happening, the m3 setup seems to be reversed.
