Man - I will totally be keeping an eye out now for a set of them. Do you happen to have the P# for the knuckles? TIA.

I feel like I just won the lotto on info! Thank you again! Now...where the hell is my Visa card! :P

As I told you before and you never responded. I will buy them for 200 shipped.

Also, don't buy new E30 M3 frontwheel bearings/hubs but buy the E28 ones. Just replace the ABS ring, put them on and save a few... ( same bearings/hubs)

Odd I wouldn't reply since that's what I'm asking for them.

Maybe you never got it then, I will take them then.

:nice: Just picked up a RF strut housing from an 88 M3 for $25.00. :) Now I need a left side, but I could not pass up that deal.

[Van Westervelt]

is it straight? thats a hell of a deal

[VAPORBLADE]

100% straight. The sway bar link bracket has been re-welded on. I am going to get some reinforcements and have it re-re-done. I will also do the "other" side when I find another housing. I doubt I will find one for 25 bucks! :P

It popped up on eBay - they guy lives pretty close to me...he has a sick M3 he has totally restored. I am going to go check it out soon when I pick up the housing. :)

So I got a quote: M3 e30 used package.

Front strut housings
Springs
Shocks
Brakes
Hubs
Calipers
Rear Swing arms

1700 + 100 shipping.

Thoughts?

WOW, that's a lot of money!!! I got all that plus m3 subframes, steering rack and driveshaft to put in my 318is for about $350. Guess I got a steal!!

If so, very clean. you'll be very very impressed. Might want to look at the engine if he lets you. We're fairly proud of that little bit. ;)

Yes, that is him, and that is his car. What a great guy! Also Fantastic piece of machinery - he has done an amazing job on that M3. While I was there he also gave me some other parts. (rear M3 trunk lid w/hardware, Rear M3 popout windows, and 4 aftermarket wheels to go along with my strut housing)
