    finally, replaced 17 year old CAs and TRs

    my god, even with the thr cabs new control arms and tie rods have gotten rid of all of my steering wheel vibrations (havent hit 60 yet in the past thats been the worst) its wonderful, but now it feels like steering is a little too easy oh well

      Feels good doesnt it? A fully refreshed suspension is bar none the best thing you can do for your e30.

        True, after I lowered my car and still had shit ball joints and cabs, my car felt awsome. I am going all urethane now and I can't wait to feel the difference.

          you may want to have either some klenex's in your passenger seat, or a small hand towel for when you take the car out after the urethane switch up.

            Stiffer bushings and mounts will increase the amount of road feel and will make the car a bit louder inside. But I think that's a small price to pay for the improvement in steering and handling. I'm using offset delrin CABs and I don't find that they couple too much vibration into the steering wheel.
            The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

              What kind of bushings are you going to get? Urethane?

                The only urethane bushings are the cabs, rear subframe and the ta. I know that if I went urethane on the engine and tranny it would suck. I will stay rubber on that. This car is going to be far from a dd. More like a 3K mile a year car. Only out on nice days and weekends.
