Actually, this is what I’m going to install later next week, when I return from working in Chicago (Oak Park, specifically). Replaces a KW Variant 2 setup that’s seen probably 100,000 miles or more. I’m tired of the plastics scraping the ground on every other bump...https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...7b402b1c07.jpg

And John, those are Öhlins Road & Track struts with Vorshlag camber plates. My next task will be installing the group buy RTABs I bought, along with new ball joints in the other two RTA positions. After that I’ll install the SSK I’ve had lying around for a few years now.

Yeah, there are only a few coilovers I'd consider, with the Ohlins near, if not at the top. There's a guy selling set of double adjustable Ground Control coils for $1600 CAD locally, including Hybrid camber plates - it's definitely tempting but I just spent a bunch on a set of RS4s, GC street camber plates (got a good deal used), Meyle HD FCABs, and brass brake caliper bushings.
Continuing with my headlights. Swapped the lenses and wetsanded the set down, then sprayed 2K Clear on both sets (ones going on my car, and the ones I'm going to sell). Everything was going well until bugs started landing on the wet paint. Uuuuuugh why would you want to land on a wet surface where the liquid slowly suffocates and paralyzes you. I'll have to see if I can get them off with a bit of polishing once cured. I also have very small run that's very hard to see, but it bugs me (ha) so I'll also wetsand that out. Letting them dry overnight, then reinstallation on the car tmrw. Sanding/polishing/waxing to happen ~30 days from now

Doing rear brakes on the 535d. Excuse the lack of jack stand at that moment. Took the wheel off then mounted it on the control arm but my friend got in there faster than I could. Haha. Staying safe!!
Also found a good way to use the falcon wings to shade. lol. Most expensive shade ever. [emoji23]

As soon as I spray anything outside I immediately bring it in the garage where I have 2 box fans blowing on whatever I painted. It’s the only way I can keep bugs off the wet surface, and it prevents the southern humidity from slowing down the dry-time.Quote:

I love those F10 wheels. I cant remember the style number (351 maybe?) but they fit that car’s lines really well.Quote:
