I suppose the issue become s a problem only on lowered cars combined with a very capable engine.

Bingo, the Bottom of my sixer sits about 3 inches off the ground maybe a bit higher the m30 in that car is very capable of doing whatever you want with it and In the past when I floored it would ...

For now it works when something breaks ill fix it, that's my approach. I get grip and no squat so im fine with it. If I need to reinforce the rear strut towers i will do it.

Removing sl front springs without the proper klein tool compressor is almost deadly. Those springs in an sl front control ...

Drive it in a rain shower to work, Wet traction is about the same. It hasn't gotten worse but I cannot say that it has improved.

Its not so much compensating its more correcting. BMW did not put near stiff enough springs in these cars in my opinion. For the average driver they are ok and for the time they were being produced I am sure they were considered a very good handling car. I don't really car about what people see my ...

Yes 625 on the street, We have had dry weather here the past few days so I have had the chance to toy around with it. Cornering is a huge improvement, from a dead stop It seems like it has abit more traction and doesn't squat more than a half inch. If it did I would hear my tires rubbing.

This is ...

E12 Squatting Issue Fixed

I have a quite a few e12s and the number one thing I have always hated about them is there decisions to squat and take a shit when I floor it. I have tried everything as far as stock options are to go, they had a less tendency to squat with new aftermarket springs and some billy sports but it was ...

I was thinking something around $150 for the replicas, It will take some time to make them and cost about $60 in material to do it correctly. Let me know on the wire and if you need any other injection parts.

Here is a picture of the BBS front Air Dam.

Would you guys be interested in a good quality fiberglass reproduction of the air dam? I am willing to do it, and have done it in the past but would need to know that 10 or 15 people are interested in it before I create the mold.

Parting out two 530i

I picked up four 530i, one a 77 and the other three a 78.

Two of the 78s are beyond repairing. The other 78 is my DD and for sale once I finish my 77 over the winter.

The two that are being parted out are both grey and have red leather interiors. They were running cars until parked and one has a ...
