      Hey do me a favor, on the rear adjustable links. Make reinforcements. Those little tabs have ripped loose on two of my friend's e30's, I can take a pic if you want, but I don't trust that little metal tab the give you. I made my own (thicker with a right angle bend) and welded them in. Oh, and how many rear strts do you have????? j/K
      Yours truly,

          Sweet. Good luck with all that. Motivates me for what I have planned for this summer.

          I like that leather shift knob with the ///M stripes. I never much liked those knobs with the actual ///M in a non motorsport e30, but that regular striped one can match an Mtech I steering wheel, and is lighted too :). I'm finnicky like that. Anyway, do you have the part number for it?

              Glad you researched all this info before jumping right in and buying stuff! Everything is a very good choice in parts!

              Good luck on the installs!

                Thanks for all the comments! I'm taking the next two days off to install everything and I'll post some pictures then. Here are some answers to a few questions:

                Are the H&R's vert or coupe?
                Springs are coupes - I've read a bunch of forum posts and have found several people who have used coupe springs on verts without issues other than lower ride height - I've collected several sized rear spring pads to try out. Little known fact - BMW makes an OEM 15mm pad - most people only mention the 10mm, but a 15mm exists.

                Hey do me a favor, on the rear adjustable links. Make reinforcements.
                Plan on it - everyone seems to agree that these things break too often! A picture would be great if you have one. Thanks.

                I like that leather shift knob with the ///M stripes. I never much liked those knobs with the actual ///M in a non motorsport e30, but that regular striped one can match an Mtech I steering wheel, and is lighted too . I'm finnicky like that.

                I'm not a big fan of M badges on non-M cars either, so the M-stripe was nice. Here is a link that has the part #:

                Thanks - I spent the last month searching forums for info. I want to do everything right the first time!

                  I would really like to hear about how all the suspension mods turn out! How much it makes a difference

                      After two + long days I have everything installed but the reinforcements on the rear sway bar - it is on the car, just not hooked up until I get the tabs welded in. Here are a few shots. I'm very happy with how it turned out. Another thing still to be added is the "IS" front spoiler...soon I hope. I'll post more shots later - have to leave on a business trip for the next 4 days...killing me to have to leave right after the car gets done!!

                      With bottlecaps:


                      Kopis added, no centers...I'm not a fan of this look:


                      Final product!
