Zfighter76 Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 how do you like your wink? i was going to put mine in but it seems like on the truck, with such a small cab, it got confusing to look at, i got lost trying to figure out what was right behind me. Quote Link to comment
Siqx20 Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Looks good. That's a hella static drop. Does it ride like shit? Mine wasn't anywhere near that low and it rode like shit Haha. That's why im in the process of bags. Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 damn sucka! thats shit it tight... were kinda gonna need some more suspension pics tho.. lol Quote Link to comment
Siqx20 Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Your lower aren't yah farmer? Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 i dunno... id have to have em next to eachother... his looks a little more legit than mine tho.. the leafs are flipped, and in a flatter config than mine... the tiny tires are what does it tho.. i totally dig it!

I love it actually, I can see pretty much anything behind me. Looks good. That's a hella static drop. Does it ride like shit? Mine wasn't anywhere near that low and it rode like shit Haha. That's why im in the process of bags. Its a little rough but its not like I'm bottoming out all the time. Occasionally I chunk some concrete but thats about it. I definitely want to get some bags on her. I won't need much frame mods as is, the travel allows it to just dab the ground on the bump stops. damn sucka! thats shit it tight... were kinda gonna need some more suspension pics tho.. lol Thanks. I will try to get under it and take some pics tomorrow. It definitely needs some work, but nothing that I can't handle. The tires are 185/45 in front and a 205/50 in back. on 14x4.5 front and back.

banzai510(hainz) Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Nice truck ,I would just drive it w/o spending to much money on it. But I have a feeling your not going to have the truck long! Why? That 535 is just to nice. Youll go back soon enough.Find another for cheap redo it ect..... Older I get the more I like the 535s. My uncle had one new when I was living in Germany. I was a Capri guy back then,But thought it was a family car. Now Im in love with 4 dr 510s. Red is perfect as I never seen a red one untill now. Most were blu blk. or maybe a grayish color if I remember Quote Link to comment
seanb47 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Oh,wow!Mustard yellow and same year as the one my dad had back in the '80's! I'd also be really interested to see how the suspension was done. Man,I can't wait to find the one for me. Quote Link to comment

Most were blu blk. or maybe a grayish color if I remember I actually like the truck a lot. The 535i was very nice though, sport balanced with luxury in 80's excellence. I plan on getting another car at some point but for now this is my DD. I've got a list of maintenance stuff that needs to be done before I do anything else. I'm gonna clean her up obviously but I don't plan on sinking nearly as much in to this car as the BMW. She runs pretty darn good right now, I've gotta get under the truck one of these days and correct the DS angle and possibly rebuild some U-joiints. Other than that she's running pretty tip top. I'd like to get some disk brakes on her just for safety and get some more bigger wheels. This is my first truck and it sure is nice being able to haul stuff around. The handling isn't so bad either, nothing compared to the BMW but not so bad for a truck. Here's some pics of the under side... Quote Link to comment
sparkle Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 cheers man, can you take a couple more pics of the front from the front looking up, just of the travel etc Quote Link to comment
seanb47 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Maybe go with a 4-link in the rear to replace the leaf and block set up.I have no idea what would fit stock wise to replace the drums up front.You might have to go custom once you decide on a disc setup.I'm sure somebody here has more knowledge with that than I do.

sparkle Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Just after looking at mine, has your bumpstop mounts been cut off? Quote Link to comment
justin 620 Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Looks like he did. How's your camber? Quote Link to comment
driggers.a Posted October 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 cheers man, can you take a couple more pics of the front from the front looking up, just of the travel etc For sure. Just after looking at mine, has your bumpstop mounts been cut off? I'm guessing so. Looks like he did. How's your camber? Not bad. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 be honest I like the stock rims better than the bigger DONK wheels . the stock rims give it a aged but still clean look. Quote Link to comment
driggers.a Posted October 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 I love the stock wheels. I just want more fitted wheels. I'll keep the stocks around, but I'm tryin to track down some 16 or 17x9's, I'll most likely have some custom made. Quote Link to comment
