Pleased with the look, pretty different to the last set but at the moment the plan is to run these for the next couple of month then go from there!!

Nice choice Jonny! I wonder how many people will assume the car is all show and no go? PMSL


So is the E30 staying?

Just dropped it 10mm to make up for the difference between the 235 and 215 tyre as the ride height was set for the last set.

It will sit exactly as it is in the pics though once I get the ride height adjusted..

How come??

The next area to look at is the suspension itself, im going to be fitting a set of lightweight KW Race anti-roll bars, these are 3 way adjustable and should help control the rate of roll, just something that is nice to have, also should save me a couple of KG's which helps!

Ill be replacing the front bottom arms with OEM TT items, these are not only lighter (aluminium rather than steel) but they also offer an additional 0.5 degrees negative camber for the front end, so I should be able to run around 2.7 degrees front static camber and keep all of the caster I have too, looking forward to these!

TT arms..



Compared to stock..



They will also be fitted with the WALK and poly bushed rear bushes at the same time.. 4kg lighter than the stock items apparently too!

JonnyC have you fitted the TT lower arms, walk and rear bushings yet. if so how has it transformed. the handling of the car
