FS Bilstein Sports + RD springs suspension package

[marakka]

Well.... its come time to start cleaning out some of the stuff I've got layin around that I was saving for a rainy day. Suprisingly..... its sunny as hell today.

Anyway..... I don't have pictures showing the drop. It was on my touring and the ass end was sagging because of the added weight. So I was reluctant to do much driving with it until I got the proper rear suspension. I drove for maybe MAYBE 1000km before the thing blew up the 2nd time. The bilsteins I got from a member on e30tech with low miles. If I remember correctly they had less than 7k on them. They are still in good shape. I have fronts and rears. The rears have e46 cabby RSM's already mounted to them. The fronts are in the strut tubes already with the Racing Dynamics blue springs on the perches and good strut bearings on the tops. This is as plug and play as you get for a suspension. I know this is worth a lot more than I am going to ask for it, but I need it gone ASAP. I am finishing up with pulling them later today. I had to do a lot to the car before I could put it on the lift.... now everything is coming off the lower side.... to include the suspension.

Price is 400 plus shipping. East coast.... figure 50 bux. West... figure 100. You'll get 3 packages. 1 each with 1 strut assembly and 1 with the rears and the springs. Come and get it kiddies......

That's a great price . . . from a great guy.

Its come to my attention that some may not want the whole setup. In that case..... I'm willing to split the springs from the struts. BUT you will still be buying the front tubes. I paid hell getting the struts to go in and I'm not going to spend another 2 hours getting them back out. The old cartridges were blown and caused the inside of the housing to be dirty. The new tubes didn't want to go in. No matter how much water I sprayed down in the tubes I couldn't get them clean. I didn't have anything sturdy enough to clean down inside..... So.... My solution was to clamp down on the strut shaft with a pair of vice grips wrapped in a towel and twist while my buddy used a 12lb sledge and a 2x4 to hit the bottom of the strut tube. In all it took me a good hour or so to do the 2 fronts..... JUST TO PUT THEM IN. So needless to say I'm not going to fight with them to get them out. They are in. They are still good and shouldn't need to be replaced any time soon.

If anyone is interested I'll let the struts and shocks with e46 RSM's go for 300. The springs I'll sell for 125. Shipping will be extra. Looking at about 15-25 on the springs and 30 to 60 on the shocks/struts.

[asubimmer]

so are the springs for a 325 or 318? BTW you don't know the rates do you? Whats the diff between the green ones and the blue ones?

[rs4pro3]

greens are genuine Racing dynamics, the blues are made by Electrodyne with the Racing dyn. logo on them

[///WeissM]

I just PM the same question and he replied: it's for 325.

[marakka]

Yup.. Sorry about that. They are for the 325's out there.

And there ya have it. When I was talking about the suspension I'd always get asked about the diff tween the greens and the blues. Didn't know the answer til now. So....now you have it. If RD was ok to put their name on it.... its gotta be good right? :D

[Avus E30]

good buy and guy to buy from someone jump on these

[Stu]

spring rates will be very similar to H&R sports (which are 185/340)

[marakka]

Whatever they are..... the rears are too soft for a touring. :D

[Julien]

Whatever they are..... the rears are too soft for a touring. :D

Told you.....fag

[marakka]

And I told you that the rear of your touring was too soft for a tree.

Now leave me alone you cigarette smoking, wine drinking, cheese eating commie.

Kluvewebye. :D

[BMW2ner]

I'm interested in just the rear shocks.
what would the full price shipped to 43611 be?

[marakka]

Hmmm...... Let me see if I can raise the guy who was just interested in the fronts. I'll PM you once I find out. Thanks!

[ilia]
