Aye Robb are you going any lower with those 16's? Ive never seen one low with 16's before. I sorta wana see it =)

Its already lowered ahhaha....how low you wanna go? Beyond that it would probably be unsafe.....

Hah im already 4" lower than stock, i know this because i measured against rudy's e21 when he stopped by a couple weeks ago

As of now i daily drive it like this, catalytic converter scraping on every speedbump, occsionally oil/front subframe planking on speedbumps, and under full lock i slightly rub the front fenders

that's pretty cheap for such a big improvement. Do they come with the corner and flat joining pieces?

No but i think those are also available, if not then theyre on either real oem or maximillian imports


Update: i dont like how same day posts are automerged

Yesterday i spent most of the day removing my struts and reassembling them for the vw mk1 strut inserts and ground control camber plates to be put on.

compared to the e21 bilstein sports, the vw mk1 strut inserts are exactly 6" shorter with the same diameter shock body and same amount of travel.


modified strut housing with the stock spring perches cut off.


Neil at Oceanside Motorsports taking car of cutting down the struts.


Cut out 2 3/4" out of the strut housing and welded exhaust tubing around the strut to reinforce it. Also had the next door machine shop mill a 2 3/4" spacer to drop at the bottom of the strut housing. Someone may do the math here a see the theres still a 1/2" of difference left for the shock body to pertrude out of the top of the strut housing, however the top threaded portion of the strut insert is exactly 1/2" shorter than the e21 bilsteins threaded portion. (refer to first picture)


All reassembled after being shot with some paint on the bare metal.


Also i failed to use antiseize on the tie rods when i last assembled them so the removal of the tie rods inihilated the threads so i had to purchase new tie rod ends.


Camber plates set to neutral postition, can adjust for negative camber but i will save that for autocrosses.


Can see the springs through the camber plates


vw mk1 strut inserts/Ground Control camber plates project completed with a mere 3/4" of travel before, and now having 2.5" of travel with no adjustment to the ride height on the coilover sleeve, also didnt change the position of the sleeve perch on the strut because we cut out just above that perch.

[E21Robb]

Installed a new Kenwood KIV-701 headunit along with four new Infinity Kappa 462.9cfp 4x6 speakers all around with new speakers wire and had my friend heat shrink everything while i routed the speaker wires









Installed my e28 chrome window crank handles



Also retrofitted a early model e30 sunvisors and panel, along with a e30 rear view mirror with maplights that i have yet to wire to my domelight







Will upload pictures from a cannon 50d once my friend sends them to me

[uberpanzer]

Digging the early e30 panel/visors. I've put in e30 visors without that panel, but that REALLY cleans it all up nicely. Outstanding work man!
