Thanks for the help.
OK, if you're wondering what the story on the car is, this is it. I found the car on craigslist down in Vegas. The owner had forgotten to change the timing belt. It had a broken rocker and four bent valves. The car is an 89 325i automatic with 75k on the odometer. I wasn't much interested in the car, but I could see that it had a coil over suspension.The car was so low, that was about all I could see. The interior is pretty clean. So, I bought the car for $1000 and brought it home. I planned to pull the coilovers and other parts off of it to put on a 91 318is that is currently receiving an S50 swap. 'figured I could get a thousand for the car once I got it running with stock parts.
Now that the 318 is getting close to running, I pulled this car into my garage and fixed the head and got it running. After I put it up on the lift where I could see underneath, this is what I found:
H&R premium coil over package that TireRack sells for over 1800 bucks.
Eibach adjustable sway bars that TireRack sells for over 300.
Borbet 16 inch rims
virtually new Bridgestone Potenzas
The BMP front bumper
A Rieger rear bumper that I haven't identified yet. There is a label, but I haven't found the part number online.
A chrome shock tower brace that I haven't identified yet.
Not sure which shocks come with the H&R package, but they look fairly new.
no camber plates, but the thing is running about 2 degrees of negative camber because the control arms have been replaced with something non-stock... probably from an e36.. the lollypops are off center like an M3
Did I do OK?Last edited by 91Saleen#15; 09-28-2008, 08:26 PM.Richard
