gonna do the front end the weekend.
Think I got all the parts covered
Lemforder
upper & lower arms
tie rod ends
front & rear spring pads (fronts 3mm)
bump stops (to be trimmed)
New metal hubcentric rings
Eibach springs
oops forgot something......beer
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.
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.
Woo, rebuild weekend :) I'm doing the head replacement this weekend... anyone want a photo diary of it?
Hmm Nice.
R u needing
Billies + Beer
or
Konis and Beer, Bob?
Which will it be?
center link and sway bar links wear replaced by the PO and look good.
the arm have 750 bushings, but the ball joints are all shot.

Yea, I used to have a Ford, out of the 3 times I paid to have the BJs replaced they broke the boots twice and didn't bother to fix them before giving it back to me 'done 'with the bill. Bastards... now I know better- but do it myself, duh! What sense does that make? :DQuote:

your tie rod boot looks trashed from the picture. Whats up with the rear bumpstops? Carrying double keggers in the trunk again no doubt.

Bob--I didn't think you were a billie kind of guy. Did you fall off your 12-step program of resisting expensive, tempermental modifications?Quote:

Bob, I'm jealous... how does she drive now..?
I've got to do the same.. pretty much everything across the board and I'll have a new car.
I had a shimmy & a Knock from bad ball joints.
And now it's all tight.
Drives real smooth at all speeds and under braking.
The Eibach springs lowered the car with a subtle drop and firmed up the ride, but not too hard. The progressive springs seem to lift the car just before you bounce.
