Bring More Wallet....

I've never used the stuff, but everyone usually says that it is a textured finish. I don't think you can get it as smooth as you could with like normal paint regardless of how many coats or how you spray. I could be wrong.

Hmmmmmmzzz....No bueno!!!

Rubber boot on the swaybar link is no longer attached.

Heard many good things about it and seen some nice vids about it too from "reg" folk.

Did it come with a tube of lipstick? lol

 

[Nomar06]

Que?

 

[Nomar06]

Moar spending....

Ordered a set of these......

which will be paired with....

Just wanted a budget friendly new susp with a bit more more performance that won't kill the comfort. I got 15% off everything with no shipping charges and the site I purchased from says they will price match anything lower which I have already seen a lower price(need to read more of the details on that). Also need to do a 10% rebate on the springs tomorrow which will bring $25 back in the wallet. Still need to buy a bunch of crap to finish out the susp "refresh".

Interested to see the drop. You know what to expect?

 

[Nomar06]

roughly 1.5".....it depends since mine is already a bit "lowered" on the sport susp. compared to the reg 3 series susp.

 

[PainIs4ThaWeak]

Que?

The "lipstick" tube of paint chip filler. Durrr Nomar.

 

[Nomar06]

I see but this stuff is different.

Received the AUX wire on Friday and put it in the car yesterday. Nicely tucked into one of the compartments below the radio. Just ordered a 1ft. AUX audio cable for a wopping $1. Hopefully it will be here this week since it ships from a town that is 30 mins away, lol.

 

[Nomar06]

Still waiting for one more box with susp. goodies.

i smell an install party

installation prior to the dragon?

 

[Nomar06]

installation prior to the dragon?

That is what I am shooting for. Just remembered I need to buy the front strut reinforcement plates.



Top box has bump stops, spring pads, front top spring plates.
Black boxes are the Koni stuff.
Blue boxes are the front swaybar links.
White box are the Eibach springs.
Bottom box are the ZHP control arms.

Rear sway bar links are in the mail after sitting in Cali for a week since the post office sorted it wring and it just sat there.
Front and rear strut mounts, dust covers, other small crap are on their way from Ohio. Along with some clips for various clips.

Eventually I will need to do the RTABs which will prob be AKG ones. Not enough $$ to get them now since I will still need an alignment, oil change, and rent a FCAB tool.

 

[Nomar06]

meh....just emailed a guy to see if he has the RTAB tool available soonish(and the FCAB tool too). If so, I am just going to go ahead and order the AKG RTABs and prob the tranny mounts.

Which means the only thing not replaced susp wise after all is said and done will be the tie-rods.

 

[Nomar06]

Went ahead and ordered the AKG RTABs and their tranny mounts on Friday and they already shipped out

 

[Nomar06]

AKG goodies came in today and the strut reinforcement plates came in from Turner. The guy in Cali shipped out the "tools" today that are for the RTABs and FCABs. ECS Tunning better have my strut mounts in before Friday!
