Finally getting this installed this Friday, I've been waiting so long it seems. Now all I need from the brown van is my rims, been waiting real long for those!

I'm a bit worried about the rear settings as it's only internally adjustable. Once set, I have to remove them again to adjust them. I'm thinking I will set them at half or alittle less. Thoughts?

Imagine the horror when I saw the outside of the box! But after that, I felt alot better!

Hope you show pics of the mod :rocks:

ksfrogman · 03-20-2006, 10:13 PM

Nice. I wouldn't set them on stiff.

longtran · 03-20-2006, 10:20 PM

shragon · 03-20-2006, 10:20 PM

on my e34, i set the rears at one full turn from soft. i wasn't sure what to set them at either, but it seemed to work well. def don't do full stiff.

no. the place where he got them at probably just used the box to ship them.

SocalTy · 03-20-2006, 10:38 PM

Wow, cant wait to see the installed pics.

Where'd you order them from?

HRC · 03-20-2006, 10:39 PM

Thanks for the tips! On my last car I had them set at full stiff and it was alright, but I could change it easy, not this time! I can't wait!!!

Yea, the place just used a different box to ship. I was freaking out before I opened it though! I was like...Tokico??? Noooooooooooooooooo!!

AS you can see, I'm not a fan!

I got the shocks from motorsports direct in vegas. I got the springs from creative autoworks in SD. I will post pics after the install. I already took some before pics of the wheel gaps front and rear. I'm anxious to feel how the car will ride with the firmer suspension! Stay tuned!

lets us know when you test it out!!

larryn · 03-22-2006, 07:18 AM

Awesome, HRC. I'm sure you'll enjoy it very much. Congrats.

One question. How accessable is the adjustment knob, with teh factory strut brace partially covering the access hole? I'm wondering if it would be difficult to adjust, or have the strut brace in the way of the knob. I guess you'll find out on Friday! Let us know how it works out!

hotsand5 · 03-22-2006, 08:58 AM

what size wheels are you getting....sticking with run flats? That's going to be a FIRM ride for sure...looks awsome and I can't wait to hear about the results

nine4surfah · 03-22-2006, 09:18 AM

Where are the Volks???!!! hahaha congrats bro! I cant wait to see the entire set up installed.

Hey Hot! I purchased 19" rims with regular tires. I'm anxious to feel the difference of non-runflats. I'll probally get a m-mobility kit in case of a flat. Any chance of it exploding in a hot summer day?

HRC · 03-22-2006, 11:30 AM

Thank you Ini!! I never thought about accessing the front adjustments! Like you say, we will find out on Friday! I'll keep you posted for sure!

Since the m cars also don't come with a spare, they come with bmw's version of fix-a-flat in a can, or at least I think thats what it is.
