    Default Questions: Sachs Kit

    I didn't get to put my kit in last week, but I'm on target for this weekend. I just have a few questions?

    1.) Front bump stops: Do I use the bump stops supplied with the kit as delivered or do I need to cut them down?

    2.) Rear bump stops: Do I use the old ones as referenced in the installation instructions or none at all?

    3.) Rear clip: The clip came located on the lower setting and I need to move up to the higher setting. It's a tight clip and I broke my snap ring pliers trying to open it enough to slide to the upper setting. Any easy methods to move this?

    4.) Rear lower spring bushing: I've read on here that some have left this out while some have used it. The instructions mention to leave it out.

    5. ) Has anyone installed this on a 530 and did you have any problems with the camber afterwards.....inner tire wear....etc? The specs in the kit call for Camber -13' +/- 30'.

    I appreciate any comments on these questions.

    Thanks,

    Mark

    installed the same kit last year on my 92' 535i

    1) use um
    2) use um
    3) I used a pair of snap-on ...no problem
    4) I left mine out
    5) no real problems with tire wear ( I rotate mine every 5k)
    6) you will have to adjust your low beams up some

    Default Thanks for the help

    How do you like the kit? What did it do for a drop on the front?
