My birthday present -

[bimmer8604]

I did my birthday present to myself today, H&R sport springs with Tokico HP blues.

Was a great present for my 18th.






I only need an impact wrench to tighten the two nuts on the top of the struts, cause the strut keeps spinning in the sleve.

I also got some Tommy Bahama stuff, and a new tooth brush! Cant wait to open those goodies up.

sweet. Ill throw the DeWalt in the trunk and maybe I can make it by to nail those biznithces in. Then we can let it settle in.

Is that an air tool? cause i dont have a compressor. I do need to let it settle, right now its sitting about .75 inches lowerin the front, and about 1 full inch lower in the rear.

sweet birthday present. I recently installed my suspension (eibach/bilstien sports) and love it so far. I think you will be very pleased. suspension and rims are the 2 things that totally change a e30. pictures comming soon....

i've got 16in RK's with es100's mounted. Love it, you'll love your setup and it will look real nice too. I don't know about you but with my bottlecaps i had alot of sidewall roll. After suspension i felt handling was real good, but after mounting my tires it's night and day. Tires make a huge difference.

How hard was the suspension install?

How hard was the suspension install?

I got the rear done in 2 hours. The front, well, thats a different story. It wasnt like too hard, just look at things and you'll figure out what to do. You do need a spring compressor and a set of tie rod end pullers. both can be rented out. If you are planning on doing this, get a friend that can help, some good music, and a clean garage.

I would rate it like a 7/10. it took me from about 11-4 to do my fronts, including a trip to the hardware store to get a 19mm deep socket.

rears are easy, both can be done in less than an hour...fronts are a bit harder

Good to know. I should be getting my cup kit tomorrow. e9nine and jb325is are going to help with the install. I don't know when I'll have time to install it though.[/quote]

That isnt bad. It took me 9hrs total for mine. Thankfully for you your control arms hadnt fused to the struts, that wasted 2hours right there.

My electic dewalt is fast and has a hammerdrill setting on it to lock those nuts down. Hopefully you have a strap wrench or somethign to hold the strut a little.
