I work at a body/paint shop. I'll be doing detailing for a while and apprenticing for body/paint, as well. At least it will fund the addiction!

Thanks for the detailed response. I currently have the IE hardware and they suck ass. They loosen up all the time no matter what and make an annoying clunking noise constantly. A lot of people have recommended the E30 M links, so I figured it would be a safe route to go. I just picked a set up tonight so I'll put them on Saturday and enjoy a quiet front end for once! Hopefully they will hold up, unlike the IE hardware!

Good luck with the M3 links. I would recommend hanging onto the IE's until you are for sure happy with the others. One thing that is nice about the stock links is that there are no moving parts, therefore you don't have to worry about the issues you were having with the IE's loosening up on you.

The problem is...where the link bolts to the tab on the strut is totally stripped. I'll probably have to cut it off to put the new ones on.

I hope I have no problems with these! Worst case scenario, I buy another set of IE's. Although, the picture that they show looks different then the links I have...looks like a much better design, personally.

Well my car has a coolant leak, I fond it today. Its small, but annoying. It appears to be coming from the very front of the headgasket.

Checked oil, looks great
Checked coolant, no oil
