    Turbo, are you Patrick? I confused.

    And I concur, OE is not expensive and it's OE on BMW because it doesn't suck. Can't go wrong with eibach springs, sachs/koni, Lemforder, and OE rotors. It's nothin new really. bimmerworld.com, bmaparts.com, bavauto.com are all helpful.

    I am not Patrick. Just call BMA and ask for Patrick, he is very verse in BMW components. I supply and install parts too but I am in Canada. We do some business with Patrick as well.

    is the sachs sport kit worth the $$ ??
    I just ordered it, but I could remove it from my order, because it's not shipping for a week. It was $710. If there is a cheaper, yet just as high quality option I'd totally do that.

    anyone got a full list of front end and rear end stuff, basically the full 1 piece shebang, because BMA doesn't have kits.

    I paid almost $60 cheaper and yes it was well worth it. I was still running on the original springs and struts, so i was eventually going to have to change them. I like that it lowered the car enough, but not too much and the ride is smooth. The sachs kit plus 17 x 8 BBS Style 5's and I am in heaven.

    BMA doesn't have kits, but they sell all the Lemfoerder parts. I got all mine individually from them. I replaced everything one by one in about 3 passes.

    I bought the big meyle 16 piece kit, and also the sachs sport kit - I'm curious if it is a good idea to purchase new strut mounts?
