Hey Spy, you could be up here in around 2 hours...why don't you make a trip. I'm pretty sure we're going to do some more fender rolling this weekend and I've got a brand new oil cooler to drop in my car so that it rides as cool as it looks!

Just let us know if you can make it and when.

Single-t= "but I still need to roll the front fenders as they are rubbing slightly".

I don't think you can roll the fronts as there is nothing there. Also there is no camber adjustment either. The only way you can fix that is getting rid of the 245's or get M3 lower wishbone's in. It will give you -.74 of camber. Its not bad priced at $204 for both.

We had 6 Bimmer's in the garage/area and PLENTY of work going on. I don't know where else you can work on your ride AND get assistance from those around you at the same time. Pretty cool! (not to mention cost saving!)

Obvious to everyone who was there, my E90 got the most attention because of the upgrade to the shocks, struts and new H&R springs. Special thanks to Brett, Justin and Etien for helping me upgrade my ride.

I'm happy to say that even tho my girl is riding a little "bouncy", she is extremely responsive and her profile is as sexy as ever. I couldn't be happier with how it rides, but I still need to roll the front fenders as they are rubbing slightly. I have plenty of room for spacers in the back!

Again, thanks to EVERYONE for showing up and the solidarity. Having all those bmw owners, there's not much we can't fix or figure out!
Let me know what size of spacers you need, my brother has two sets that got off his M3 when he got the new wheels.

Let me know about the photoshoot with some time, so I can block that weekend from any other photo shoot.

Yeah, Jax isn't too for far of a drive. Can't make it up this weekend, hopefully sometime soon though. I see some people mentioning photo shoots, I have a Canon Dslr that I can bring with me in case you guys got a spot you want to hit up and grab a few shots from.

That's cool! Valdivita is our resident photographer but the more the merrier!

Are you installing this yourself? With our help of course! If so, we'll most likely be working on Single-T's oil cooler and front fenders, if that's possible, this weekend. Not sure which day. Your more than welcome to use my garage.

Thank you! If the installation plans I have fall through before the weekend (Stage 6), I will definitely take you up on the offer. I planned with Stage 6 because I did't have time to do this after work on a weekday, but apparently they may be too busy to squeeze this into their schedule this week.

Anything you wanna tear up?

I thought the same thing but Antonio said he rolled his fronts and got a little more clearance so I figured I'd give it a try.
If that doesn't work the wishbone's sound like a good idea and definitely cheaper than switching to 235's. Where can I find those?

Seriously though, you should be faster with less weight but it should be REAL close!

I want to thank Brett once again for another successful modding weekend, with my car being the one undergoing surgery this time around. Thank you for allowing me to use your garage, awesome tools, and your expertise and help!

I also want to extend my gratitude to Antonio (aka: Tony, Toņo, V-mer, V-Rod, The Mexican, 10mm-in-the-front) for a helping hand! Thanks a lot buddy!

For all those who didn't make an appearance, you missed out on yet again some quality hangout time and wrenching.

Until the next time, fellas! And count on me whenever anyone decides to tear something apart!

I finally got the pics my neighbor took. Total of 356 to be exact. I'll get a few up when I get some time. He's 17 and just got a dslr. Some are excellent! Even untouched. No I've just got to get photoshop for him and get him started with that.
