falker.....why did you mention you were selling your car i would have gotten a loan. I always wanted another white gen 1. My baby gets loanly sometimes, she needs a man. Beth's car became a whore and dumped my car so i'm looking to replace her. LOL. That had to be about the stupidest thing i ever typed but i'm not going to erase it.

I did, i just said i may be selling my car on the fourm.. i asked what its worth, but the mods apperenty didnt like that and deleted it i was ****** cause its not the first time that happend to me, plus it had about 500 in body work needed ( had a few dents, but the paint was orignal and oh so shiney...and i guess the guy that bought it rosted the clutch. i know my clutch was good when i sold it, it was strong, now it wont go into first...

Updates?

Will, are you still happy with the setup you have now? I'm getting the car in the shop on Monday for the alignment and new tires. How's the wear and grip factors? I'm basically gonna copy what you have, seems like you're satisfied where you're at.

Yes, the setup is fine. Cutting the intrax one coil does not change the ride at all. I think it sits perfect now. I just did an autocross and I was a little concerned that under hard braking the front tires(they stick out a little) might hit the fender, but they didn't. I imagine the alignment change helped the handling but, I have no way of checking. It stills hauls butt on freeway exits, etc. I don't have enough miles on the car to tell if the tires are going to wear the inside edge and I doubt I ever will, cause when I drive it, it's usually hard, so it is not a good indication of tire wear. I usually only get around 7,000-10,000 miles out of a set of street tires.

If you're just joining us... It most definetly eats the outer shoulders.

I think you guys misunderstood me. I was saying that I find it hard to believe that you have postive camber with the Intrax springs. Yet alone enough positive camber to wear the outside edge of the tires.

S'all good. No hard feelings here.

Awesome Will, thanks for the help. I should have my car back Tuesday, I'll give an impression of how many Bimmers I can scare with it.
