Opinions on front susp. rework

[bev]

so maybe I should just stick with OEM everything, including engine mounts.

I'm not really looking to go to autocross/track days, just a nice handling street car that is fun to drive the few miles that I do.

thanks again for the help.

OEM would be fine for the engine mounts too, honestly.

alright, here's what it looks like so far.

Replace List:
1. Front subframe used @ $40
2. Swaybar mount bushings (20mm stock) Pelican @ $6 x 2 = $12
3. Swaybar endlinks (stock) Pelican @ $40 x 2 = $80
4. Front control arm bushings (offset M3) Pelican @ $68
5. Engine mounts (stock) Pelican @ $8.50 x 2 = $17
6. Tie rods (stock) Bimmerworld @ $110/set
7. Control Arms (stock) Bimmerworld @ $180/set

total= $507

missing anything?

OEM cabs from pelican parts are $41.

different brand, same thing?

[einstein57]

I believe the OEM ones are made my lemforder. Could be wrong but i have a set of OEM ones and i have a set of "Lemforders" that came in a lemforder box but are identical to the OEM ones but looks like the roundel was ground off.

Why are you installing a subframe?

I would use the M3 bushings and OEM rubber everywere else. I put the poly bushings and all the other race suspension on my Cobra and its to rough for a daily driver now.

BTW I need to do what you are doing. I was getting ready to order my parts.
