Fortunately due to firmer rear, it doesn't rub as frequentSettings:-front camber: -1.5 degrees-firmed up rear damping Story,Now, person 1 informed me many months ago regarding the Z3/ti rear subframe for sale. Up till last week, I urgently needed it (for some urgent project). Person 1 says person 2 has booked it. Person 2 says he could let me have it. Person 1 draws a map leading to the venue. I couldn't find where the subrame was left, I called person 1, person 1 says person 3 might know, so I called person 3 and person told me roughly where it is and advised me that I needed a modified front lower arm for the conversion (THANKS ALL for listening to my entertaining calls)I bought the rear subframe including the discs, calipers, diff, subframe, driveshafts for RM500.I bought the front struts and knuckles from an E36 318i for RM150 a piece. A pair RM300 Total cost: RM800The whole gang bang from BWWClub dropped by the next day to see to the conversion (THANKS to TJ, Fabian, Alvin, three28, Zoggee for being there) Fortunately Alvin found his modified E30 front lower arm assembly which made my life a lot more better than to have slaughtered Fabian's "lollipops" for the job.In the end it is conversion is complete. Wheel centering solved. But. front camber looks like + 4degrees!, ride height with stock E36 318i suspension made it look like it's a 4 X 4 riding at a palm's width.Next day. Titan.After lots of Blah blah blah, rah rah rah,3 whole days is what I needed.Today, called up Titan.It's ready!Love the camber kit. It looks pretty cool. love the coilovers... Pity bout the rear with the shock bpdy beign to close to the body..Perhaps the telescopic coilovers could still be done like the E46 KW coilovers.. Next time.The front struts are now so short, in the pic, notice the wheel is just CM's away from the arch even when it's hoisted. Okay, the front is lower than the rear now..looks like it's diving. I will make another trip to titan for the rear coilovers.At the mean time, I'd just like to thank you guys again!CheersTomOkay,More pics below..yes yes, i know. rear is too high..i'll get the rear arch done up first and proceed to go lower springs or rear coilovers <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />enjoy!<img src="http://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com/XXL/5lug/DSC_0016.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com/XXL/5lug/DSC_0028.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com/XXL/5lug/DSC_00471.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com/XXL/5lug/DSC_0068.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com/XXL/5lug/DSC_0100.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com/XXL/5lug/DSC_0128.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com/XXL/5lug/DSC_0138.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com/XXL/5lug/DSC_01491.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><a href="http://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com/XXL/5lug//DSC_0171.JPGhttp://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com/XXL/5lug/DSC_0173.JPGhttp://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com/XXL/5lug/DSC_0195.JPGhttp://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com/XXL/5lug/DSC_02021.jpghttp://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com/XXL/5lug/DSC_02291.jpghttp://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com/XXL/5lug/DSC_0164.JPGhttp://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com/XXL/5lug/DSC_0158.JPG" target="_blank">http://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com/XXL/5lug//DSC_0171.JPGhttp://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com/XXL/5lug/DSC_0173.JPGhttp://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com/XXL/5lug/DSC_0195.JPGhttp://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com/XXL/5lug/DSC_02021.jpghttp://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com/XXL/5lug/DSC_02291.jpghttp://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com/XXL/5lug/DSC_0164.JPGhttp://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com/XXL/5lug/DSC_0158.JPG</a></p></blockquote><p></p>
