Factory upgrade kit for base stereo cars. Bob had a nice writeup:

Amp, mid range, tweeters, wiring harness, and a small bit of coding.

installed vorshlag camber plates on my OEM suspension, thought I would have this done months earlier. Don't know if I'll get a chance to try them out at an autocross this season.

Grocery Bag Holder
Yes, I got rid of the little piece of tape.

Bimmer-Bob · 09-21-2013, 08:48 PM

I need one of those. How do you install it? Are there holes pre-drilled or what? (Too lazy to walk to my car and look).

One must drill their own holes, but it comes with a template and full instructions.

To be completely honest, they look just a bit more white than stock. I'll get a picture up but I can almost not tell the difference.

631twentyeighteye · 10-06-2013, 07:39 PM

hah, i run the TRW ones also. there's zero difference between them and the OE ones. besides the fact that they grinded ///M off of it.

I haven't decided on springs and dampers yet, but whatever I choose will have to accommodate the M rear camber arms. Just cuz.

Spring rates?

350/600, which is the TCK recommended spec. I have the M3 subframe bushings, and while you can run a 700 with them, Kline said either spring rate is good. Personally, I realize this is a DD first and foremost, as always.

I'm sure we're all looking forward to a review. Is it safe to assume that since this is a "last install" thread that it's a done deal, or is this a project for THIS weekend?
