jjjkkk Posted October 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 FFFSS! Had this crazy idea and pisses me of I don't have enough money to make it happen anytime soon. I've been planning to shave and clean up the engine bay, and yesterday we found out it would be quite easy to drop the car more by lifting up the whole subframe a few inches. I just lack some cash because these both things need to be done at the same time... This point we're only gonna raise up the engine to avoid scraping my oil pan and manifold too much.

What wheels you'll get? I like it lowwww:The wheels are on. Everything rubs on everything, and there's a 60mm gap between the ground and the car. Needs serious modifications to get it slammed Edited October 31, 2011 by jjjkkk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nic78 Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 That is epic! Is it at all driveable that low? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjjkkk Posted October 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 With BMW's on, no, but that WILL be my driving height after the cars done. With my 14"'s on, it's driveable with 0 inches clearence if you don't mind the sparks and the sound of a scraping metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjjkkk Posted November 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 A funny thing. We thought the front would be the hard piece, but turns out the back is far more complicated. Rears need to go inside, 9mm per side. By turning down the wheel adapters, and the wheels itself (ET from +40 to +45) we can make this happen, luckily there's no need to modify hubs nor discs more or anything. Brake mount plates are the only piece needed to fabricate from scratch. They got a big part of dropping the rear end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjjkkk Posted November 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) ..........I AM A FAN OF THIS PRODJECT Did I say rear is complicated? LOL, rear is done and front might end up to be one big pain in my ass, and in my wallet too. We might, just might get away with it just by replacing the airbags to different brand but we'll see...This is a time when I wonder why an earth I am so freaking obsessed... EDIT:Some fine tuning from my work...Wheel adapters... 3mm turned out from here...1mm off from the backside:Adapter bolts. 8.5mm off...Aaand 6mm off.From ET40 to ET45. Nice!
