Looks cool. I'm a big fan of black wheels. Which BMW springs did you use?

Not wishing to dampen your enthusiasm but:
1) The new spring rate is about DOUBLE what it should be! I expect that you will be bouncing about all over the place on the road with that front end.:eek:
2) Those adjustable struts are IMO the worst bit of engineering to come out of China. I know because I bought some and sent them back.:(

Those wheels look super sweet(get it?), she gunna be very purdy.
I have to agree with EvilC on this one, you'll find that all the flaws that are created when you chop the top off of a car to make it a convertible are going to be magnified(doors moving, cowl shake, etc) on top of creating a much less comfortable and confidence inspiring ride. No worries though, it's an easy enough swap to a softer small diameter spring, I think people were using CRX springs as I recall, you may want to enquire with Superman from this site, he knows EVERYTHING super.
