Mate decided is bmw needed a change so got himself a set of wheels and some lowering springs. What a joy we had today fitting them.
Unit and heater and few cups of tea and of we went!
1 set of clamps (never enough) so had to get a 2nd set
2 new springs (fly further than the old ones did ouch)
3 just a general ball ache. (Ask me fingers)
Once we masterd the art of putting the bmw top mounts and springs back on the shocks we was away. 3 hours later everything fitted and looking good
Old rear springs had both snapped. ouch! he did think one had gone but was suprised when we found both had.
Was impressed with what the wheels and set of springs did for the car. not to much yet subtle .Only thing left now is to change is front bumper. But hes not decided on one yet.
heres a few pics.
