E93 Project Vert. Pt2

Since we are playing the aggressive fitment game, doing it big requires a lot of hard work and patience with trial and error, especially finding right size wheels with proper offset. Not to mention right tire sizes too!
Without going deep into our pockets, we narrowed down either to go with Linea Corse or VMR as our wheels of choice for test period. So after talking with many friends and suppliers, we decided to go with VMR wheels since they have the sizes and offsets that we are looking for, and yet they are very affordable.

We opted for VMR VB3 aka CSL replicas in 19x9.5 +33 and 19x10 +38 as wheel of our choice due to its classic design, and the face of these wheels also has drastic concavity compared to other makes, which gives the wheels a larger than life look when in motion.

The front need 5mm spacer to clear the coilover collar. So spec on the front is now 19x9.5 +28. Slight poke w/ stretch tires = aggressive fitment. Especially when E90s come with plastic front fenders (ouch!) ;)

The rear is 19x10 +28 (w/ 10mm spacer) with -2 degree camber. Hellaflush?!

We really liked how everything turn out in the end. With right wheels/offset and a little bit of research and work, anything is possible.

Sorry for the long post.. but this E93 is simply clean!! I espcially love it when the retractable hardtop at work!! so sick!!





Much thanks to Joe & the staff @ Auto-Logic of San Bruno, CA., Nelson @ Megan Racing, Charles @ VMR Wheels.

I will be updating more of this car very shortly.. new custom offset wheels are on order! ;)

New Project....Kin's E93 vert Pt.1

So a good friend of mine has this E93 for awhile now and he's been asking me to help setup his whip for quite sometimes. So after doing some research, he finally has the courage to hand over the keys and wants my friends and I to show him a thing or two about aggressive fitment.



We all thought installing coilovers would be easy since this is what we do for living. But No!! so turns out removing front suspension of a E93 is a pain in the ass!! It took us more than 4+ hours just to get the fronts finished. Also, if you ever need to work on these new 3-series E9Xs, watch out for these plastic front fenders. yes you heard it, front PLASTIC f&*king fenders (more on this subject later on..)... so glad nothing happened during the install, and I am glad that I don't have these problems on my E46..lol

The front suspension was totally different than previous gen. e36/46.. took us more than 4+ hours to get the fronts in. (hey, but can't complain when getting paid)
We opt'd for Megan Racing Euro Street Series because of its price. For the price, you can't really beat it. At first, we were skeptical about the quality of these. But after seeing them in person, we are very impressed with Megan. They have stepped up their game in terms of overall quality. Thanks to Nelson @ Megan Racing!

Rear suspension was straight forward.. very similar to the E46. But since Kin's E93 is a convertible.. it gave us fucking hell! The trunk was small and tight due to the retractable top. If it was just a regular coupe, we could have knocked this out for a lot less time. FUCKER!

putting back the trunk panels and pieces were so fucking pain in the ass.. Jackee (the grease monkey) almost cried lol


A set of VMR VB3 in 19x9.5 and 19x10 will be on this weekend after the suspension is more settled in..
