    BS...any car shot (or proper female) is DSLR material! Just for the expanded range, pics would be brighter showing more detail.

    95 LS1 M3
    UPDATE 2-12-12
    I went with the 95a AKG poly bushings with solid Turner diff bushings and I counldnt be happier. The car feel much more planted and I don't have any additional vibration than before.

    I do get a diff whine at high speeds as I did change to a different brand of fluid to Torco 75/90 but I think I will change the fluid to 85/140 to see if it dampens the whine.

    Other than that. I am very happy.

    Mods completed this round:
    Resurface rotors
    Regeared Diff from 3.46 to 3.91
    replace SS lines
    AKG 95a subframe bushings
    AKG 90a rtab bushings
    AKG Subframe reinforcement
    AKG RTAB reinforcement
    Newer Half shaft
    Aluminum camber arms
    Fixed and serviced front window regulators and motors

    Just know if you track it much the Alum Camber arms are a wear item and should be replaced every 2 years or so....

    Looking good Bud!

    you said the you would go with 9.5 square set up all the way around .I am going to be ordering a set this week . would they all be the same offset ? your car looks great on those wheels . I have a alpine so it should work . Also are your running spacer or would you run some if you were going to run 9.5 all round. How would you do it if you where buying them again ,specs ect .

    Do you plan on keeping these wheels? They are the only thing I'm not a fan of on your car.

    I'm personally more thrown off by the smoked lights rather than clears Also for wheels, you will probably need 18's to clear those brakes.

    all good. I see what you are saying but the smoked corners are part of what define what I like putting on the e36. And the current wheels are 18s but these I have a couple other wheel ideas brewing right now hehe
