How much would you pay for M3 strut tubes?

[GaryE30]

New at the dealer they're like $400+ for strut tubes, $320 wheel bearing/hub, $$$ for rotors and calipers and carriers. If you go new its extremely expensive.

How much would you pay for a good condition used entire front suspension set up from an e30 m3?

I have a possible lead to get some and I don't want to get jacked (even though buying M3 parts always makes you feel like you're getting jacked).

Thanks guys.

10.95+tax

I sold the suspension (front and back) from my 89 POS for $1k. I was a fool.

Oh JAM!

;)

personally I don't think the 5 lug is worth it but if I was to buy a set I wouldn't go over 1200ish

Total (front & rear) or just front set-up?

[asubimmer]

both

but for the price you pay for 5 lug you could have a nice 4lug bbk and really nice wheels.

I have a soft spot for e38 16x8 weaves though. We'll see how good of a deal I can get, then I'll make my decision. Its hard to make a decision anyhow, especially when I don't have an e30 to put this stuff on. Just trying to prepare for the big day!

I do agree that a lot of the 5 lug bmw wheels are sex, I doubt anyone would argue that :twisted:

$1-1500 for a complete front setup if it includes brakes etc.
Better make sure it includes the lower knuckles. Those are impossible to find and something like $250/ea from the dealer.

1000-1500 for the fronts typically. and 1500-2000 for the full front and rear. All depends on condition, completeness etc. I wouldnt pay that much, but I have seen 3 complete front/rear sets go for 1900+ in the last year.

I got a good deal on my strut tubes but got an absolute raping on calipers/carriers. It really all depends on what you find/who you know.
