      I was planning on having them do the entire thing for me and they gave me a ballpark of ~$1200 which isnt much more than just buying the pieces separate ($300-Camber plates, $450- Springs/Adjusters, $350 Koni Struts = $1100). If the price comes in closer to say $1500, we'll talk for sure

        Should have gotten in, during the black Friday sale. They apparently had really good deals.

          Normally I wouldve, but between Christmas presents and the Benz giving me a nice $XXXpensive surprise, buying coils wasnt even on my radar. I wasnt even planning on doing coils and was just going to get iX Koni's and call it a day, but the more I think about it, the more I want to just get it done right now

                What material is that? delrin? I just use stock M3 offset rubber bushings on my cars.

                  Those are condor bushings. I think they are made of UHMW whish is plastic. I dont think these are good for bushings since they expand when heated. I drive about 10 miles a day and thats how they were when i changed them. I dont abuse or tracck my car either i wouldnt reccomend condor bushings to be honest. I swapped them for garagistic and so far night and day difference

                            don't do it. it will be all down hill from there. :(

                            BTW - drove back down to SoCal in an E30 this afternoon.

                            Feels SO good to be driving an E30 again.

                                Always good to be driving an E30!

                                I already got a super low mileage C63 suspension setup probably going to combine it with h&r lowering springs. Should be fun

                                Not much more I want to do with the Benz after this besides installing the magnaflow x-pipe
