Upgrading my suspension.. what do I need?

[steinbachphoto]

I have an 91' 320i cabrio (equiv. setup as a 91' 325i cabrio) and I was planning on getting the bavauto springs/bilstein shock set



so with this what else would i need to purchase to install it(like bushings and what not)
also is this set compatible with my cabrio? or do i need to look for something else...

and to install this is it DIY or should i bring it to a shop?

IMO i'll go w/ h&r sport + billies. you need the upper strut mount & RSM. if you can install by your self much better. soo you save some money. instead bring it to the shop.

When getting in there and doing it, i would check your control arms, tie rods, and control arm bushings. All those things are easy and make sense to do at the same time.

I wouldnt go with their springs. (bavauto) I would go either of the H&R sets, and billie sports.

does any one know of a online retailor that sells them as a package together? and are there cabrio specific ones or does it matter

i just got my billies yesterday from bavauto $352.86 shipped. they match the price from shockswarehouse. or try KO performance maybe they have good deal.

You'll want to replace front strut bearings, and rear shock mounts at a minimum.

It's a great time to inspect a lot of other items as well, control arm bushings, ball joints, tie rod ends, brake pads, subframe bushings, etc. etc..

We've got all these items available and can lend a hand, just shoot us an email or give us a call!

my rear spring pads crumbled when i tried to remove them from the old springs.
