My E90 325

[fad]

Hi all,Recently i have decided to pull the trigger to mod my current daily driver, the 2006 E90 325. Since then i have been doing a bit of research here and there just to get a clear picture of what i want for the car. To cut a long story short, i have wasted no time to place my first order for a set of rims and suspension. And today Mr Marcus from Lim Tyre contacted me to inform that my shipment from japan has arrived at his shop and ready for installation. I have opted for 19 inch BBS LM-R in Diamond Silver or DSK and KW V2. Both shipment are from Japan and took less than 2 weeks delivery. Props to Marcus from Lim Tyre for the good service and updates. Now all i have to do is choose what tyres for my new rims. For those interested to know my rims specs are F19x8.5J ET32 R19x9.5J ET25

Hi everyone,
Finally got the rims and the adjustables installed today. Must say im happy with the recommended KW setting which is 6 clicks from the hardest for front and 8 clicks from the hardest for rear.

Currently camber for rear is -1.3 with very little scrubbing, a little bit more camber will definitely fix the problem i think. Ride wise, just a bit more bumpy compared to the H&R springs but I believe its due to the lower profile tyres im using now.

For those interested to know here is price and specs
Rims - BBS LM-R F19x8.5J ET32 / R19x9.5J ET25
Price - Front set RM10,500 Rear set RM7,200 (front set ordered by Marcus from Lim Tyre TTDI, rear set bought from forum member spaceman)
Tyres - Dunlop Direzza DZ101 F235/35/19 / R265/30/19
Price - Front RM820, Rear RM980
Camber - F -0.5 / R -1.3 (currently)
Suspension - KW V2 Front 6 clicks from the hardest, Rear 8 clicks from the hardest
Price - RM6400

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr Marcus from Lim Tyre TTDI who did a good job ordering these parts for me, let me point out that all these came together shipped from japan in less than two weeks at a much cheaper price than the guys in Singapore quoted me.

Pictures will follow soon as it was raining today and i didn't have my camera with me.

Hi all,
These photos were snapped by Marcus during the installation process. The installation took 3 hours.

Sorry i dont have a photo of the car by itself. Planning to get it done professionally when all mods is done.

Next mod would be 3D studie japan lip. Found a shop in SG that stock them, anybody here knows a local shop?

Nice! I stopped going to Sunway for aftermarket parts. For genuines, I go to Stuttgart. For replicas, eBay is my best friend. RM is strong now, 1 USD is lower than RM 3.10
This is what I would do:

nice mod ..needs a little more drop ..since it's on coilover ...

 

[fad]

Iceman,
Its lowered and drop slammed. Half finger front, 1 finger at the rear. Anything lower than that will scrap my undercarriage. Dont want to over do it.

NCH,
Yeah pretty much they sell the same stuff. For cosmetic mods such as these i dont mind going taiwan, quality is the same.
