    WTB: Suspension/control arms/brakes

    hey all im looking for used bilsteins preferably and springs for my 318i
    also some control arms and bushings and if you have some 325 front calipers and good rotors let me know.
    I'm in NC willing to pay to ship.
    I don't think your mom appreciates the value of those modifications

    I have a set of 98 M3 control arms with centered bushings/brackets.
    Will bolt up and improve handling slightly with centered busihngs. Will improve it more with offset bushings. Are very helful with E36 5 lug swap.

    Good shape.

    $115 shipped.

        It is important to note that the early 318i [84 85] have a smaller diameter from strut tube. Any other model, including 325e of the same years will NOT fit into a 318i strut. You can either buy the correct size insert or find the later struts, which are a direct fit BTW.

          You talking about shock sunshine? Will the control arm bolt up to smaller struts?

            Control arms are the same, the only different is that the inserts are a smaller diameter on a 318i than all other e30's.

            brakes, control arms, springs, strut bearings, wheel bearings, etc all the same

              Actually front brake rotors are non vented. So you pretty much don't know then? :-)

                Yes, but if you swap calipers at the same time it works

                  I have a set of calipers that are in good condition, $50 for the set sounds fair.

                  Let me know
