And you don't want too. Ask Sebastian ("Bernzspeed")...

bernz is definitely not "Sebastian"

[Pantless Spency]

I love all three of those things.



Except I wanna build an seta.



How is everyone this Wednesday? I'm about to go to the track :)

Well I guess I'm not going to the track :/

man, there are so many things i want to say but don't really want to get into forum drama on Bo and another 'vendor' here in the forum/bay.

[freeride53]

haha if that dude drives the e30's that are in his sig, i've definitely seen him around town before.

[kronus]

is this the dude in Oakland with the storage space full of bmw bits and a red '87 with the ebay tails?

yup

[kronus]

oh i bought a dash and a sway bar from him and got a good deal for what they were. seems like if you deal in person and know your shit, he doesn't have much room to suck.

Alright I need opinions!!!
Two options:

Condor Speed Shop "Terror" package - $275.00
Solid UMHW; FCABs, 12mm Subframe riser bushings w Aluminum diff spacers & bolts, RTABs. This was my original choice due to the reviews in the Review Section here but I'm hesitant due to this is my daily and I dont want it to be too harsh esp. for da ladies. Also, would technically last longer than poly.

Revshift Rear bushing pack + CABs - $274.98
Polyurethane 80A or 95A; FCABs, 12mm Subframe riser bushings w Aluminum diff spacers & studs, RTABs, Diff bushing. Thinking about this since they're not solid like the UMHW, I'd probably go for the softer (80A) urethane bc DD-status. Also comes with a Diff bushing although I have a good rubber one in there now so its not important, I may not even use it.

Prices are basically the same, shipping cost excluded. Both are vendors here too I believe. What ya guys think?

Like anything else, you should try to ride in cars that have either. I've had poly mounts in my other cars so I thought I'd try Condor's mounts for my current e30. They're still on there now but damn does the car vibrate. Hard to gauge tolerance until you experience them.

i bought poly SF/diff bushings 2 years ago and never installed bc the ride in friend's cars was so poor. ill put it on the M3 since i plan to only really track that and never DD it.

So I should probably go with the Softer poly then? Im not going to do rubber..

[CabbE30]

anyone in norcal have a spare 14" basketweave with tire?

edit: anyone coming to oliver's bbq this saturday have one? (shameless plug):(

I do & I am. Tire has like 200 miles on it. Needs paint and center caps tho...

Hey guys
So I've been looking around for a shop for a while and came across a good deal. 1300 sqft shop with a hoist lift and other utilities included.. Only 1200 a month in RWC.. Just wondering if anyone is interested in making this a bmw "club house" plus repairs/restoration.. I know its a long shot but its worth a try. I dont know about most of you but I dont have a place anymore to restore my e30 and this seems like a perfect opportunity

Yeah. Honestly, if you've having doubts now the Condor shiz is probably too harsh for you. The novelty of the vibration wore off for me within a couple months. Luckily I don't dd the car so I'm not dealing with it every day, but if I was gonna do it again(and still wanting aggressive bushings) I'd stick with poly.
