My PFL e30 coupe i bought around November-ish. came along way since i bought it, but still alot of things still need improving.

Its sitting on Koni yellow adjustable damper shocks all round (thanks to a BS member :D )

Custom made springs in the front (snells) jamex super-low in the rear

16" wheels offset is 25

Enough talk.

Thanks! I like it on the bottle caps as well, but unfortunately its too low for *cough* wof *cough* so need to put the bigger wheels on to make it legal. Needs some epic guard rolling on the front as well.

Quite like the Panasport C8s (I think), although they need smaller tyres. The gold looks good too!

Is it gonna bottom out on the front?

your shifter boot it supposed to clip into the center console through the top not the bottom. also, to make the boot get snug to the bottom of the gearknob, i folded it inside out and ziptied the top of it really tight around the shaft of the gearstick, and then folded the boot back down over the top and clipped it into the center console

Yeh it looks rough. Its not an e30 boot or mounting bracket. It didnt come with the conversion kit. so i used what i had at home. going to look for the parts when i get the chance.

hmm that sounds very interesting, i must try that when i get my shifter boot. thanks for the advice!!

Just wondering how is your E30 too low? Mine is about the same if not a fraction lowerf and I use bottle caps and the height flies thru the wofs to Qs asked.
