Suspension progress.

I've been trying to get all the suspension together but missing parts, wrong parts, and no money has been slowing me down. Front suspension is almost done. 300# H+R springs sitting on custom Carrera coilover sleeves. Bilstein sport shocks for a vw rabbit(shorter body) with a custom spacer in the strut tube to make it work. Collar nut that comes with the struts will not work, Bilstein factory is the only place i could find that would sell me the 2002 nut, so think about this ahead of time. Lee's Massive rotor hats cant wait for the rest of the brakes. I cant wait to be able to afford them. Havent completelt settled on camber plates, but I will most likely go with the KMAC stage two adj. camber plates for the front.



The rear suspension is starting to come together. Sway bar has been coated with aluminum color por15. Still waiting to hear back from Bilstein on their recommendations for shock valving. I will be running a small body bilstein strut with coilover sleeves. Waiting on 320i inner cv joints so the axles will bolt up to the differential. Also need to pick up some spacers.
