Hahaha! Adam I don't know about your car and those brakes. It really does not like them.

SLCGoonski · 04-21-2009, 01:20 PM

it's all the pulling/re-install of the procede that sucks.

adrock · 04-21-2009, 01:22 PM

Just setup an apt for tomorrow morning with BoM. You going to be in Park?

Jeff is a SA? I requested Gains to work on it.

SLCGoonski · 04-21-2009, 03:03 PM

finally broke down and paid $200 to upgrade my DirecTV DVR to a HD one.

Now I wonder why I waited so long.

Pixxxxs? What did you put on?

coco_m3 · 04-21-2009, 04:25 PM

Eibach Pro Kit Springs
I love them so far.
My pop's was not okay with me ordering 1500 dollars coilovers, when I could spend 300 on springs and get the same look.

Park2670 · 04-21-2009, 05:11 PM

Sure the look is the same, but the ride and handling sure aren't.

coco_m3 · 04-21-2009, 05:14 PM

He doesnt care about stuff like that.

Fact is I bought them and love love love them so far.

SLCGoonski · 04-21-2009, 06:31 PM

If all you want is looks ...you did good. there is a reason coilovers are $1500.

Who did your install, can I ask? I'm looking at probably some H&R. I'd like a modest drop.

I'm not going coil-overs because I'm not ready to loose my EDC. There are SO many E9x M3 owners extremely happy with the ride/handling quality of their springs. Can they all be full of it?

I think aftermarket spring set-ups have an expired bad reputation. But, I can't speak from practical experience yet.

Ruff Rider · 04-21-2009, 08:07 PM

the problem with just doing springs is the shocks wear out faster then normal. That is when the handling goes bye-bye.
If you are not keeping your car for more then a few years then spring might be the way to go.

Park2670 · 04-21-2009, 10:35 PM

I think its a different story with the M3 and its EDC shocks, the stock sport shocks is a what I am referring to.

Word. That I'm definitely aware of - agreed. I'm thinking after they're shot, maybe coil-overs then.

Anyone have any experience with Wheel Werks on 39th or on Main? Reputable? They are listed on H&R's site.

coco_m3 · 04-22-2009, 12:56 AM

A friend of mine that owns a performance shop did mine in like 1.5 hours.
PM me and Ill give you his contact info, and Ill talk to him and let him know your a friend of mine.

Wheel werks over charges like a BITCH. ( NO GO )
