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.

Sounds like there is such as thing as too low.

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

funny, I was just getting ready to post that in reply to his alignment issues, then I saw your post...lol

 

[Doug118]

I was unaware that you need to trim the UCA mount with these arms ‍ I’m starting to get really sick of all the BS that comes up with this setup

 

[992dr]

Damn, not good.
You'd think this would be noted in either the directions or posted somewhere on here.

If those are DJM like they look they are good luck with instructions. I pointed out an error in their rear sway bar offset end link instructions and they acknowledged it but never changed the instructions. That was years ago. I’m pretty sure they’re still wrong.

The instructions say nothing about it, of course

This is why I hate trying to do stuff that hasn’t been documented. To be on the bleeding edge of anything is usually expensive…

Someone’s gotta be the first right? The truck has steadily gotten lower and lower over the past 4 years. I could have bagged it a long time ago but it’s fun to push the limits

Didn’t take it that way at all

Little update… I’ll be moving from the state with the #1 worst roads in America to the state with the 5th best so I mighttttt try tucking some 28’s since I’d be able to run rubber bands without severe anxiety every time I leave the house
