UUC sway bars, $440 and you get additional supports for the rear bar http://store.nexternal.com/shared/St...13&CS=uuc&All=

UUC = :tsk:

:stupid:

Get TMS or Bimmerworld's kit. Swaybars are hard/impossible to screw up, even for UUC, but just on principle I'd go elsewhere.

Winner!

Is there a need for an oil pressure gauge in E30's? Low pressure on high speed turns, etc? If there is no oil pressure issues then theres no point, otherwise I will add one to keep an eye on it.

It's less of an issue than in E36s due to the sump design (under braking, oil goes TO pump instead of away), but still not _not_ an issue. I'd ask the track section guys here and at bimmerforums, but I think an oil temp gauge would be more useful myself.

I'm not too worried about the temp. I have an oil cooler and many people claim oil temp on E30's in not an issue, and that is without an oil cooler even. However if I did pressure I would probably do temp at the same time.

True, my reasoning though is that I'd like to know when the engine (diff and trans too) are up to temp so I can romp on the car. I'm not worried about engine oil temp going too high.

Goooooood point!

Caught up with the NASA group as HPR yesterday.
Figured this would be the thread to add some E30 love...

Ordered through Tirerack, shipped directly to TireSource in Boulder and will be installed sometime this week.

If you value customer service and quality products you will not purchase from UUC. Most of us with E36's will concur with this logic.

Nice! You sure that's a spec car? There's no SE30 sticker and it has rear aero.

10000000% agree.

+1 I didn't think that Aero was allowed in spec unless they are OEM wings.
