    Ride Quality Question

    So we just purchased a set of 99 tall springs off the net, and Bilstein HD's and everything needed to assemble them. The truck currently rides like a boat and the back sags. My thoughts were to replace the springs and shocks and get some lift, and much better overall ride quality. Now for the...

    Advice Please

    thanks for the info. i think bilsteins are better quality than the OEM's. so do you have a link for all that crap that is needed to assemble the front struts??? gonna piece together my own kit I guess. 99 springs, bilstein 5100's, and whatever additional parts I need to assemble the fronts...

    Advice Please

    hey guys, thanks so much for the replies. that helps me out a lot I'm so frustrated right now. I had found a website that had everything I wanted. They sold 1" lift springs, new shocks all around, and would assemble the coilovers for a charge. Now I can not find the site! Making me so mad...

    Advice Please

    So I am thinking about doing some work on the runner. I am going to get new springs (the 99 height ones) from OME. Also need to do new shocks. My question is how hard is the install. I think on his site there was something about buying the front coilovers pre-assembled, is this worth it or...

    New 3 Series... Thoughts!

    yeah i think it's 400 some odd lb/ft of torque.. Stock. they're pretty peppy and knock down great mpg's stock. however, tuning on a turbodiesel has much more potential than on most consumer vehicles. The timing, fuel maps, boost tables can all be optimized to provide a more powerful and more...

    New 3 Series... Thoughts!

    oh same here. Want one soooo bad but the prices on even the used ones are crazy. I'd probably end up in the 4 door as well, the coupe just looks so sexy. But yeah the diesel 3 series won car of the year and they pretty much said if you buy a non-M gasser 3 series you are stupid. That's how...

    New 3 Series... Thoughts!

    yeah agreed. line up a subie sti or mitsu evo and see if they still think 4 bangers are reserved for slow cars. Those cars can show up a lot of 6cyls and 8cyl motors depending on the application. I'm a big fan of forced induction, and am obsessed with turbo diesels.
