    Help, please!

    I'm fairly new to E30's still and would much like some more professional advice on some things. Thanks, here they are:

    1) The ride in my '87 325es sucks, needs suspension upgrade. Feels like no shocks/struts, only steel bars under there. I feel EVERY bump, no question about it, bad for the car. Will getting new shocks/struts take car of this? If I spend my money on new shocks or struts and the ride still sucks, I mean, what else??? What kind of shocks do you guys recommend? thanks

    2)Oil pressure sending unit that screws in beneath the block as been leaking a little bit of oil. Are there any special procedures for changing this? Does the engine have to be empty of oil/if it is removed when engine is oiled will oil gush out like you're draining it from the plug itself?

    3)When my A/C is turned on while my car idles, it occasionally makes this god-awful, terrible screeching sound that emanates from beneath the car making every single surrounding person within a damn half-mile glare at my car with a startled & very puzzled face. What the hell? :(

    Gotta go for now...will definitely think of more things and edit-post them either with this or separately. Thanks a hell of a lot for the help and generous advice. Happy E30ing

    about the oil pressure sending unit just park the car for a few hours and let the oil drain to the pan before you take it out. dident spill any oil when i did mine.

      tour a/c belt is probably loose. tighten her up or go to the car store and buy belt no squeek juice.

          With the shocks, it all depends on what you want for a suspension set-up. If you want a stock ride hight, go with some bilstein touring shocks and keep the springs you have, if they are stock.

          For a lowered look and firmer, more responsive look at this thread to get an idea. http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=52154

          When you decide what direction you want to go with your suspension, let us know. There are a bunch of different ways you can go with this.

          Good luck.
