    Rear Upper Spring Perches - Rusted Out

    Anyone with a parts car willing to cut out the rear upper spring perches so I can patch in replacements for mine that are rusted out?

    It's the upper nipple that "holds" the top of the rear springs in place, opposite the bottom ones that are on the trailer arm.

    I don't exactly how far my rust goes so, to be safe, I'd like to get as big of a piece as reasonably possible to cut out and to work with.

    Willing to pay for your time and shipping as well of course.

    Please let me know, thanks.

    Yeah, you want a frame rail cutout. BTDT on our iX. Pick up some Eastwood Internal Frame Coating to protect the interior after you are done.

      Where are you and which e30 do you need a coupe, vert, or sedan. We have several parting out and we would just cut out of the same car as yours. Give me your zip I’ll have you a price Monday if no one else has them and I’ll give you a shipped price. I’m away from the shop today and I’ll have to double check the car before I tell you. I’m not gonna ask anyone to go look today it’s almost quitting time on Friday and it’s pouring rain here. Let me know.

        Frame Rail, right, thanks.

        I'm in NYC zip code 10009. I have a Touring which will be impossible to source , but I'm going under the assumption/hope that they are the same on all E30's? If had to pick of those I would go for a Sedan. Sounds hopeful, look forward to hearing back, thanks.
