The black rockers and handles look 1000000x better!

When swapping sway bars, ideally you want ix or convertible pieces correct?

[e30austin]

Cabrio front, iX or M3 rear.

What spring rates, I have no rear bar.

[AustinK425]

IE3 springs, just considering different things I should look into to improve the general feel of the car.

[HarukoE30]

Yes, bring a new belt. What power steering mod? Seeing as how we'll be working from under the car and on refrigeration I'd say definitely the special place.

Deletes my power steering. Got a deal on it since my pump went out & I've been driving without PS for like 4 months.

Phil / Ryan: How does the 4th weekend of August work for either of you? Be the 23rd I believe? Let me know, I just have to plan ahead plus I know you both have younglings to watch out for as well

Sounds good jay but I go alone

I've been waiting most of my car-nerding life to find that wheel and have a car worth putting it on.

that is THE steering wheel to have ....










loved it so much I had to have one as soon as I got back from Germany. and now I have one waiting for my E30

ps I have pics of all the cars also (obviously). feel free to ask for them, Im no photographer though

[5Toes]

anybody have an idea what it would cost to get a drivehsaft balanced?

A guy on bf.c has a zf310 e34 driveshaft for $110 shipped, but he separated it without marking it :(

good or bad deal?

[e30austin]

I would estimate around $100 to have a driveshaft balanced. If it were me, I would just buy a reman or rebuilt one. I'm going to in a few months. Definitely worth spending the money for peace of mind.

Someone buy that. Good price.

[Twelvizm]

Yeah, that seller in Australia is killing it on price. But, that shipping kills most of the value.

[Mlarsen]

Yeah he wants like 75 bucks for shipping. Still $190 bucks for a brand new Italovanti isn't too bad.
