1991318is, the car is not raked is it? Got any more pictures :D. How do you like the ride so far?

not raked at all, it's like perfectly even. I love the ride, and more pics are at http://s26.photobucket.com/albums/c113/318isbmw/
There's pics of the way it used to look and how it looks now both on there. It rides awesome, still has some give for bumps but keeps it very level cornering. I've noticed how wen I come into a corner I kinda brace myself expecting the body roll there used to be but end up laughing at myself cuz I tense up and it's a nice smooth corner, simply amazing setup.

Here is my car on IE3's, koni SAs, and IE big sways (set on softest settings) and Hankook RS-2s.  Sorry I don't have static pictures, but my car sits exactly like 1991318is's.  I want to raise the rear a bit and slightly lower the front...I wonder if the 1/2 cm it would go down by taking out the spring pads would help..I'll get around to that this summer.  But for now it handles great, though I may try to go stiffer with the anti-roll bars.  At this autox I almost beat my friend in his stock e36 M3 with sticky yoko ad07 tires.  My 51.7 to his 51.2.  It definitely feels like it rolls less but as you can see in these photos it still rolls a good amount.

Trying to reduce drag?  :rolleyes:
Yeah, the car looks great.  Please take some higher res pictures and post them here.  Are those Comp SSR's?  The wheels look great!

The event was an instructional autocross, my instructor gave me some tips and suggested that I rotate the mirrors to allow the best vision out of the car so you can see as much of the course/cones as possible.  I also moved the rear view mirror in a way to reduce the obstructed view out of the windsheild, it gives you a lot more vision.

Yes, those are 16x7 SSR comps.  Higher res pictures will have to wait until I have some time to crop them and upload and all that stuff.
