Mafia,

Long time no see.. how are you?

Anyway, You are actually praising Tom or Yourself ???

 

[Tom]

Kinaka, you're based in Ampang as well?

Supafly:

My E30 only had coilovers in front. cos they can't make the rear.

a set like mine for the E34 will cost close to RM3000. Custom made coilovers for all 4 corners.

For E34s, If you run on 18s with 20 offset and 235/40/18 tyres in front you will need spacers to clear the shock body AND spring perch. a set of 6mm spacers will clear it.

even if you're running on other wheels that are smaller in diameter with the stock E34 18-20mm offset you should still need the spacers in front or you'll end up having to go for really really short springs which i've tried, and trust me, you won't like it one bit. the springs are so tightly wound together that if you go on the highway and there's a slight uneveness, the springs will end up fully compressed. don't ask me how it feels like when it does that

the wheels are just too close to the shocks even when stock.

fortunately, all is good now. i'm now running on 10mm spacers in front and 15mm in the rears. machined aluminium with hubcentric rings.

Mafia:
so when are you spraying the E34 black? you cars gotta look as mafia as you bro

Here are somemore:

 

[Tom]

supafly:

didn't pay attention to the E30's setup.
anyway, the setup is all wrong on the E30.
the fronts are too low and hard
the rears are higher and softer

will work on it when it comes back. probably try to experiment an all wheel coilover setup.

Mafia:

paint them all black.
