    -GC touring plates and new rear shock mounts
    -New hand brake cables
    -Billie Sports
    -H&R Sports
    -Front and rear wheel bearings.

    I would like to do more but money has run out lol. I only require it to last me a few years. Ill have new plans for the car in a few years.

    Should also mention this is the first time I have worked on my suspension and I am shocked at what mechanics have done to my car.

    thread, i resurrect you.


    But anyways, how much did all this cost you? I'm gonna go a very similar route.

    If you're pulling the exhaust and driveshaft out, it's good time to replace all your shifter bushings as it's easy to access then.

    Might as well do the m3 sway bar tabs and endlinks.

    I like the Rogue Engineering rear shock mounts. The wear parts in them (the bushings) are replaceable and you can get the mount with street or race bushings. They are way stronger than the OE E30 or E36 parts.

    I would add soft brake lines, caliper rebuild kits, and caliper guide bushings. If cracked, half shaft boots.

    Complete Suspension Rebuild

    I plan on completely redoing my suspension over the winter and I am trying to gather a master list of all the parts I need. So far I have:

    Blunttech's Rebuild kit (Includes):
    - Control Arms
    - Tie Rod assemblies
    - Trailing Arm Bushings
    - front / rear sway bar end links
    - E30 M3 offset control arm bushings
    - Rear subframe mounts
    - Locking tabs

    - Rust free OEM front struts
    - Koni shocks
    - GC Coils
    - GC camber plates (Street Use)
    - Strut Bar

    To my knowledge, all suspension components are original (223k) besides the current JOM setup installed.

    What else should I add to this list?
