new to stanceworks, new to 'stance' i guess, loving some of the stuff on here from the uk.

i don't have anything with the right look yet, would be very interested in speaking to some of you guys about what kind of setups you run and anyone with airride in particular.

i have an e30 325 which is a future project and a calibra daily which requires much lowness and the 16x9 borbets in the garage going on.

surprising i haven't seen any of the cars from notts or derby round and about!

anyway 'HELLO!"

:D

calibra, currently waiting on tyres for these and then can see where it sits - little devil says that it will need to go too low to make these look good and be impractical for the roads round here daily but will see what happens:

yep another bmw - bought it to enjoy over winter but i find that i actually like it - a lot! - so i think it will be staying even tho it's most likely going to turn into a full on project/resto at this rate.

as i bought it:

so far main thing was service work, bit of welding and a wkend with the buffer - this is with some 40 springs on and the wheels on with some smaller tyres:

Then lowered it 60 and spaced the back - i think the only way to go now will be to coilover convert the front (i'm lucky enough to have short, big piston billies) and then have a think about what springs i can safely doctor for the back:

no theres never enough old bms ha ha, its fairly rare as there arent that many '85 ones about and being a chromie.

plans are lower, probably more camber and some resto work - i would *love* to do a v8 conversion but that's very much money dependent!

well got an old 205/50 stretched onto the borbets today - and it's not stretched.... more ballooned ha ha

so i guess i will need a 205/40 - the difference in how different brands of tyre stretch makes my head hurt! anyone have any suggestions?

(i think from googles falken look nice in a 205/40 on a 9' ?)

have a laugh on me:

right it's either a 205/40 or a 205/45 in falken 912 flavour - leaning towards the 45 as don't want the wheels to look lost on the car - anyone got any ideas?
