I dunno, I remember seeing them for the 2002 when I was looking for the rear shocks on the belltech site.

LOL, with the wife's driving I need both a front and rear bumper man. Cheaper for me to repair the bumper than replace the panels.

if you are interested fill the sponsorship form...and say that you heard about the shop from BIMMERSHOP that is now MONACO MOTORSPORTS
Olivier Piché is the owner and got a sponsorship from them on a drift bmw.

I sent them an email so we will see what they say. I would much rather get a lowering coil than trim mine. I will post up once I hear from them.

Yeah man but there is a problem. The black evil Dakota is using airbagits lowboyz. Until I can get a guarantee it will hold up at high speeds I won't do it. Last thing I need is the suspension to start coming apart while running the 1/4, lol.

Oh, my bad. But I wouldnt put any thing that wasnt guaranteed on my truck. Looks like you will have to find something that wasnt meant to go on our trucks ...

Default lol

as long as the front wheels are off the ground you should be ok.

if you have a problem ...well crank the boost or add a BIG SHOT DRY 600shot nos if you have a front strut failure..it may save your life!!!


hahahaha


i hope selex fabricate something im not sure about a coilspring alone usually its a complete coilover assembly.
