    Suspension replacement.

    well I think its time for me to replace some suspension components. my car was lowered from a previous owner with unknown lowering springs. They seem to be fine. I replaced the stock shocks in the rear with some kyb gas adjust last august since the old ones were blown. I am going to be purchasing some kyb struts for the front. I think I should probably replace my control arms also. But definetly some urethane bushing all around. Where is a good place to get these?

    KYB is crap, at least get Bilstein Sports all around....

    www.bmaparts.com has the best customer service and good pricing. They give a 10% discount if you mention the code 'spece30' when you order.

        You can afford new control arms and urethane bushings but not Bilsteins? Bilsteins aren't even expensive, they are about $375 for a full set of 4.

              I got some M3 offset urethane bushings from www.bmwbushings.com .

              I did that right before the GB on the Treehouse ones.

              It was 90 for the pair.
              The BMW 318 is back. With a vengeance.

                  Gotta figure in shipping on top of that right?

                          for some reason i laugh when people say KYB.

                          But yea i totally agree jsut go with some Bilstein sport if you have to save up a little more cash either way you will be a whole hell of alot happier with Bilstein sports.
