suspension is boring sorry. just low lovell HD springs and kyb sport shocks.it squats a nice amount ( not too much not too little )when putting your foot into it.
yeah AC shnitzer 16x7 1/4 got them for 400 aud with 90% tread tyres too

here are some pics of during the conversion. yes thats dust everywhere because i dont work fast . the last 2 are of the 3mm top hat section cross member i made up. i built that as it was easier to fit the engine rx4 style then to try and mod the original bmw mounts. besides i have used the hbes cosmo sump and not the fc sump so using the mid engine mounts was kind of out anyways.

How does it compare in handling to the 316? Since it's a 4cyl, it doesn't take up as much room (past the axle) as the I6...have you noticed the changes?

to be honest i have not driven it much. i drove it up to get the tune and was just 2 very long roads then the CV went bang so have no real driving to base an opnion on sorry
