    Blunt tech suspension rebuild kit

    Searched for threads of anyone who has purchased this kit, didn't find anything. Anyone have anything good to say about this kit?

    It's a solid kit. I'm sure you could piece together better components, though.

      Using the kit on mine without any issues, done a few hard trackdays and otherwise daily driving/spirited twisties on it. Only thing I changed was using centered e36 M3 CAB's instead of the e30 M3 offset ones. Handles great, never have I felt the need to go with poly bushings.

        "Better" is relative to your needs. If you don't want to spend a bunch of money and get the convienience of getting everything at the same time. If what you want is quality OEM replacement parts then you can't beat just the convenience of it.

          That's entirely true. Not everyone is fan of poly bushings haha.

              also looking into this.
              As before, anyone purchase this package before? It'd be kinda nice to get all of these components at once.

                That looks the same as the Blunttech kit from what I remember.

                As far as poly vs. rubber: Poly bushes squeak and will be more likely to 'jar' you when you hit a pot hole. They also transfer a lot more NHV into the cabin. The pros are that they are supposed to last longer and not deform as much when acted upon while driving, making for a more 'solid' feel. They are also sometimes easier to install than OEM rubber.

                  I think I'll go with the rubber ones as it's a daily driver and my city is fully of pot holes
