Not even to check his girth? Get your priorities in order!

The measurement you recorded is still accurate

When are you back, want to have that lunch meet next week?

Torgus · 04-22-2015, 05:18 PM

Week of the 27th or Week of May 4th works for me. Only day I can't make right now is on the 29th of April.

We could aim for April 30th if that works for everyone else.

Ill be down in Nashville all of next week. May 6th could work well.

Not sure if you guys have read about the new thing NED is doing on Wednesday nights, but check their FaceBook page or website if you haven't. Would love to see a 335 on "the list" for any amount of time, even if it doesn't last the season.

Finally did it & got a drop!

Car sits on yellows & eibachs now. I must say the ride is way better now than stock, the car handles & corners much better.

As far as the drop goes, its not bad at all, the front still has a lil gap & the rear does rub on wicked bad dips occasionally but overall I am happy with the set up

I got this done this week, so things are still settling in & I will get an alignment in the coming weeks. B4 & after pics are below

Nice, looking good! I just got Bilstein Sports and Eibach Pro springs installed this weekend by Dave and yeah what a difference! Haven't taken any pics yet though. Rear is dropped perfectly, front still has a little bit of a gap like yours but hoping after some time the springs and new tophats will settle! Damn XIs and reverse rake!

Ya me too, only time will tell I guess. haha ya the xi height is bad, but didn't really know how bad till now lol.

MassBimmer · 04-23-2015, 09:51 AM

Nice, drop looks awesome! Will definitely settle a bit more.

Torgus · 04-23-2015, 10:05 AM

Drop looks nice!

Ok so May 6th for a meet? Gives two weeks to gather up people. I'll make the thread in a bit.

Who fucking installs a tire and doesn't take off the sticker? Seriously? I know you had to jack my car up in the parking lot and couldn't put it on the lift(or use your impact wrenches) but come on.

May 5th for the Merrimack valley lunch meet I was putting together.

I'm all for a NED meet but I would prefer when it is a bit warmer. I'm not going to run until I get a diff lockdown kit regardless. I bet you can't wait to run your DCT m3

Just saw a blue e92 335 outside La Fiorentina in Northampton MA, had a e90post stick on the pasanger window.

zero2sixtyZ · 04-24-2015, 11:46 AM

+5 for sticker still on tire.

Amonra, car looks great. You could dial in the camber a bit in the rear to help with the rubbing. FasTrack in Peabody did mine, no issues.

That looks great. Can you detail exactly what you changed for parts? There is so much confusion around the Eiback/Koni xdrive swap. That looks like it worked out perfect.

zero2sixtyZ · 04-24-2015, 04:45 PM

Excuse the dirty car. Was washed shortly after.

Window trim done, materials courtesy of Don Nguyen. Wheels mounted/balanced at FasTrack.

New coilovers finally arrived yesterday after two months. Will have more pics of those later. Painting calipers soon in G2 silver. Hubs will be cleaned up and painted black since no center caps going on.

Sure np lol. I had TMS perform the installation for me. I ordered the Koni sport yellows from them & supplied the Eibach Pro Kit springs that fit the xi (#2085.140). I also had a new xi mount kit put in with new bushings since they were worn out. Here is copy of my order form lol. That's basically it, nothing over complicated

Torgus · 04-27-2015, 11:48 AM

Uhhh, about that.

Alright, since they've arrived, here is the scoop. These coils have been a bit of a pet project for Island Road and I.

We contacted Cygnus Performance to place an order of Fortune Auto 500 series Black Edition coilovers:
- Swift springs, 8k/12k
- Koyo radial bearings
- M3 rear struts
- Standard camber plates, and valved according to springs.

- Added whiteline subframe bushing inserts to the order w/ Cygnus.

Next to be ordered, are the M3 rear control arms, Manzo rear toe arms, and Powerflex upper strut mounts.
