I've been itching to replace the 25-year-old coilovers on the M3 with something modern and... not blown. My friends at H&R built a complete custom setup for the M3, and I wanted to take the opportuni...
We've decided to move forward with disassembly, this time with the front end. There's a ton of components that lie hiding underneath the car's hood, and almost all of it can be permanently remove. Th...
2020 was one wild ride by any conceivable measure, and we're thankful that 2021 is finally upon us. Not wanting to let all of 2020 go to waste, though, we ended the year with a special event. We part...
Baselines and benchmarks are often monotonous if not boring... but before tearing the Ferrari 308 GTBi apart, I wanted to know what I'm working with, and I wanted it in numbers. I strapped the 308 to...
2020 has been one hell of a year, no matter who you are or where you're from. We figured, why not end it with something special? You read the title right: we've partnered with H&R Springs to give awa...
Earlier this year, we took a dive into the information behind springs, looking at everything from how they work to developing a better understanding of how to pick a proper spring for your applicatio...
Spring rate, pre-load, progressive rates, tender springs... what does it all mean?! Across the web, there's a heap of information, some right, and some wrong. Today, we're taking a dive in on basic s...
They say a car is only "new" once, and while the technical side of the statement is indisputable, the sentiment may not be entirely true. On rare occasions, a car reemerges from behind closed shop do...
It was a few weeks ago, with the shop door wide open, that a fellow BMW enthusiast spotted the slew of E28s inside the StanceWorks HQ. Driving an absolutely gorgeous 535iS of his own, he pulled up ou...
We can safely say it: we’ve survived yet another SEMA. Even after attending my ninth SEMA this year, they don’t get any easier. It’s a week-long challenge for the feet, the joints, and the liver, tha...
There's a long-running joke - something about how Porsche 911s are just fancy Volkswagen Beetles. I'm sure there are a dozen-and-one variants, and truth be told, I've probably said them all in passin...
For every classic BMW fan, there are a few universal truths. For one, there's no car quite like one with a Roundel... although that may be a bit subjective. Another, a bit more inarguable, is the lim...
After purchasing the '84 533i that would become the my Group A tribute build in early July of this year, I sat down with Andrew to decide exactly where to take the project as a whole. I knew what I w...
Believe it or not, it's not all vintage cars here at the StanceWorks HQ. While over the past few years, Andrew and I have done little to bring new steel through the shop door, it doesn't come unwelco...
Behind the big desk at H&R sits Roland Graef, a man who's enthusiasm for classic BMWs is paralleled only by our own. The desire to build an E28 or E30 all his own has been growing for years, and fitt...

It was nearly 10 years ago that I bought my first E28: a polaris silver 528e, for a total of $400. It was far from love at first sight - in fact, I bought it only to satisfy the sense of need I felt ...
It was more than a decade ago, in 2004, that three young BMW fanatics turned their attention to their car's stereo system. Their 1998 Titanium Silver M3 was, like most BMWs, in desperate need of audi...
"Would you like to see the E9?" I was asked. We had just finished our tour of the H predictably, I wasn't jumping at the opportunity. Interested? Sure. But not enthralled. Be that as it may, what rol...
It was more than two years ago that my relationship with the team at H&R began. Ever since, it has grown more and more clear that beyond producing world class suspension components, H&R is a brand ow...
For two weeks, the city of Essen, Germany becomes the focus of the automotive world. More than 350,000 people gather to attend the Essen Motor Show, which trails only behind SEMA as the second larges...
