Is there such thing as too low?

It’s for an e30 but the chassis’s are very similar


I’ll definitely take pictures of everything I do like I do with every build. I have over 1000 pictures of the suburban alone

Wow that is crazy. And it's a complete kit, that's actually pretty cool.

Definitely looking forward to this build.

Wrote you a PM, but the M30 motor can make a ton of power. Great thread to read about a guy who took a stock junkyard M30 into the 10s and then 9s with a powerglide. Good & Tight's M30 E30 build

I’m ready to torch this truck to the ground. With the factory arms, the alignment shop couldn’t get my caster better than -7° because the upper arms were bottomed out in the back of the slots. I install some DJM arms and they can’t get the camber better than 1.5° and caster is still -5° and now they’re all the way in the front of the bolt slots ‍♂️

Man, that's no good.
I wonder if someone like MMW would have custom arms for super static dropped SUVs or if they'd be willing to build custom arms for such issues.

If I were to go that far, I would just bag the truck. A local shop just quoted me $1500 parts and labor for a basic bag setup in the rear so I’m sure the front would probably be around the same

I may have found the limit of static dropping the gmt900 suv with bolt-on parts

I'm sure you do, but do you have the offset UCA bushings?

I had them in the stock arms and they worked great before I lowered the front another 1” like 6 months ago. That’s why I switched to the DJM ones and that just gave me the same problem but opposite end of the slots

Good point, it would be a lot less to go that route and have the flexibility.

I do believe you found the limits :)
