    There is no way that it could pull off eurolines... It'd look weird... I really want silver Work Meister S1 2P's, Meister CR01's would be cool too, and I could probably pull off panasport G7's, Work Ewing III, 5 spoke Longchamps, Compomotive FH500, Rays MS-01LM, or even ATS classics. And if It were 4 lug, Takechi Project Harts, But I'll probably (edit: try to) find some of those for the AW11.

      see, idk, it's *almost* square enough to do it?

      G7s are my vote, I love those.

        G7 C5C2's are pretty sweet! BTW, I love those Pierce LCA's. Forgot to mention I'm running them now. Between those and the Tubular core support/revised front and rear trans mounts, the car has a whole new feel. It has much better low speed cornering while accelerating grip than it used to, i.e. power out of corners earlier. Cannot get it to understeer at all. I still need to install the Quickor rear bar and my ZX2 front bar to help with the body roll due to the new softer springs, but that's a project for another weekend. Weighed it last week too:

          I just spent the last 5 hours changing an oil filter. I have no idea how Valvoline managed to put it on so tight. Best of all, I let my anger get the best of me, and I punched a nice dent into my front quarter panel. Thanks Valvoline! (Btw, I'm not blaming anyone but myself for the dent. Dents add character, right?)

              Not my first oil change lol. I've never had problems with oil filters before. My brother borrowed the car for 2 weeks and changed the oil at Valvoline. I guess they have a special tool?

                Valvoline is a manufacturing company, not a person. Blame the person.

                    I actually snapped one of those end-links not too long ago. It really makes you appreciate how much better they make the car feel.

                        MX3 TTL's with progress 22mm rear swaybar top/bottom use 3/8" x~2" bolts through cone spacers & a double hiem joint system.
                        No give whatsoever besides the swaybar mounting bushings (which i wish were made of delrin/some other solid material
                        NEED MOAR rear response & or new mount bushings

                          Eh with upgraded endlinks I wouldn't want the mounting bush to be super hard because that would likely be the new point of failure perhaps ripping out the threads/mount points.

                          The old 3 series had a nasty habit of doing that. I'd probably spot/support weld the frame mount points at heim joint level.

                            I don't understand why one wants to upgrade every aspect of a mechanical suspension components to be "stiffer" over all, then use hard poly material.

                            Wouldn't that cause an already quick wear item like bushings, to wear exponentially faster?

                            I dunno, I plan on spiffing up all of the suspension and just replacing with regular rubber. I don't like changing out bushings but that's just me?

                              Because Response.

                              ES bushings are a must for any of my cars. Last way longer than any rubber bushing, and if oil gets on them from a engine or transmission leak its not a big deal.
