    Lucky you. I want to do the same, but still wait for the parts I ordered directly from Germany. Also will do the rear sus parts such as beer cans etc.
    Bought a puller for that on German Ebay for around 80 EURO, fits with different parts on E30, E34 and E32.
    Anyway, here it is still a bit cold to do that oustide.

    Default 80 Eur

    for a rear mount puller.

    that's not too bad...but postage from Germany is always 1 month...even in Germany

    I usually have it here between 8-12 days shipped by the German postal office, which is the cheapest. Of course it can be faster but that costs more. You can calculate the price to USA here and see the fastest/slowest and the different prices.

    Center link? How are the shocks? Seems a shame to disassemle the struts w/o changing the inserts.
    Just thought I'd help you spend some of that beer money.
    Oh yeah, sway bar links.
