What kind of a camber plates did you get? I just ordered KW variant 3 coil-overs, and I need camber plates in front, and camber adjusters in the rear. Congratulations on your purchases. | | | | | 05-18-2005, 01:32 AM | #3 | | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 |
you're replacing the supersprint? is it bad, you don't like it or what?
i've spent way more than $1600 in the last couple months. in fact, i don't even WANT to know how much i've spent. but when all is said and done, it should be set for a long damn time <sigh>. __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles

Little too excited  I'm just getting a new catalytic converter and the Supersprint is staying. I didn't mean to sound like I spent a bunch. I got a good deal on most of the stuff actually. I have just been so friggin sick of the slipping clutch and staring at all the lights on my dash. Can't wait to have it all fixed and kick some ass  __________________ '96 Alaska Blue ti w/ Supersprint cat-back exhaust...Dinan CAI & Chip...Eibach Pro-Kit Springs...Bilstein Sport shocks...BavAuto camber kit...Brembo d/s rotors...UUC SSK...Centerforce Dual Friction clutch...TMS 9lb flywheel...18 inch OZ Rims...Carbon-Fiber dash/gauge bezel...Momo Shift Knob...Indiglo gauges...Schroth Harness...ZKW's/ProLumen 6k HID...Predator Chromiums

Congratulations on your purchases. | I got front and rear adjustable ones from Bavarian Autosport. I probably could have found cheaper, but these seemed to be good quality and I've seen some really shoddy and cheaper looking ones elsewhere __________________ '96 Alaska Blue ti w/ Supersprint cat-back exhaust...Dinan CAI & Chip...Eibach Pro-Kit Springs...Bilstein Sport shocks...BavAuto camber kit...Brembo d/s rotors...UUC SSK...Centerforce Dual Friction clutch...TMS 9lb flywheel...18 inch OZ Rims...Carbon-Fiber dash/gauge bezel...Momo Shift Knob...Indiglo gauges...Schroth Harness...ZKW's/ProLumen 6k HID...Predator Chromiums

I was looking at the bavarian autosport ones also. Please keep me updated on how they work, and how well they are made. | | | | | 05-20-2005, 04:10 PM | #10 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2003 Location: Wilmington, NC Posts: 641 |
