Update: Gave up on the springs for this weekend (need to drive it tomorrow to class) so I settled with the shocks. They feel amazing, mainly because I never realized that the whole time I've had the car the shocks have been collapsed and the chassis was just bouncing around on the springs. While in shakedown testing (driving on a back road haha) I noticed a knocking sound from the right rear (might be that there was no weight over it but I doubt it), everything appears to be tightened down and fastened, it's only over bumps not in corners so at some point I'm gonna tear everything down and troubleshoot, again my car breaks my heart by nothing going smoothly. Things seem safe enough to drive on but I may just let a shop handle it for a little piece of mind. Also sounds like I'm going to Radford next semester.

Beer? I don't have money or else I'd have a better car lol Also I'm not in Roanoke anymore I'm about 60 miles out but next year I'd definitely take you up on that.

Edit: suspension knock became VERY severe today so I hobbled it home only to realize that the locking bolt on the right side shock was about 5 threads too loose, so essentially the chassis was bouncing up and down on the shock mount. Good thing I found it when I did.

Sweet! Bout time you made her look pretty. I'll trade you a minty-ish white e36 m3 for it?

On a side note, if anybody is looking for an e36 m3, send em my way. I've decided to part with it and begin my e30 hunt. I've found one or two so far, but they were a little steep for my liking.
