Hello all!
I am not really new to the community, but I was never active on the forums. I recently acquired a 318is that has seen better days. I replaced the gas tank, fuel pump, all the lines, a few brake lines, rebuilt an axle, cleaned up the engine bay, and I am currently working on the engine...a broken waterpump bolt discouraged me recently :ohsnap:
Anyway, I have turned my mind to the suspension now because I would like to gather all the parts that I need. I have made a list and done research on the prices. I know what things go for new, and I am basically interested in only new parts, but I feel that it could be beneficial to both myself and others to buy slightly used parts. Why waste money and give to a company what another e30 owner could be reimbursed for? Thats the idea behind this thread.
The list:
Coilovers or shock/spring setup
E36 Tie Rod Locking Plates (8.99 each)
E36/E46/Z3/Z4 Steering Rack (17x.xx rebuilt from rackdoctor
Good m42 engine parts (guide chains, timing covers, etc)
skid plate
Sway bar bushings
