Re: I'm going progress!
SMALL UPDATE
I still haven't recieved my coilovers yet but I did get my ES bushings today. Funny thing is that when I picked up from my apartment front office they were packaged into a fiber one chewy bars box. In my head I was thinking wth I didn't order any chocolates. But inside were my bushings. And I also got my top mounts and bearings in today as well. Here are some pics of the box and bushings and a little teaser pic of something I gotta drive this past Monday. Enjoy

Lol. I've driven the bimmer a few times. But I gotta take the new aventador around the block and car is beyond sick. Here are some more photos.
Doors got UP because it's a real Lamborghini.
Now if I could put these gauges in my EM2

MAJOR UPDATE
pretty stoked just got my tracking number and my coilovers should be here Wednesday!! Now all I need is my camber kit front and rear! LCAs and I'm probably going to order a progress rear sway but I keep g
Leaning back and forth wether or not I wanna do that just yet.
Also I was doing some thinking and I remember last yr when I got my last alignment done the tech said that my rear toe on I think the drivers side was maxed out and that there's nothing I could do to fix it. Is that true? Can I not just replace the bolt to the arm so I won't have toe eating up my tires? I was looking for a kit. But haven't seen anything around online for our cars. Any advice what to do about that?

With the Progress rear swaybar kit, you're paying a lot for a little piece of metal that says Progress. An OEM swaybar is much better value.

I've seen them go for $75 a few times, but true some companies impose a JDM tax raising them to a $125-130.
The best value swaybar is the 05-06 DC5-S 21mm, which I bought for $40 off someone parting out on craigslist with endlinks and bushings and that was not far off what a scrap yard would charge.

Ya that may be true but I like the way it looks. Since I got the coilovers might as well go all out and get the sway kit as well

FINALLY
After two months of waiting they are finally here!! I kind f went overboard on ordering extra suspension parts but I should be getting in any day now some other great goodies with in the next few days! Im probably going to start my own build thread since I'm doing a lot more suspension work then I thought I was gonna be doing.

SOME MORE GOODIES
FRONT SWAY
F7 LCAs
What kind of rust proofing paint did you use? And did you just spray the whole thing down? My camber kit front and rear won't come in till sometime next week so I just want to make sure I have everything I need when I install it all. I still need to order that damn SPC 10 star socket. But I Really dont wanna pay 25 bucks for something I'll use a handful of times.

ENDLINKS
REAR SWAY
Has anyone who has the progress rear tie bar look any different? I see in some pics it looks like stainless steel and this one looks as if it got powdercoated that gray color.
