Friday Get Together

[e30austin]

you have a lot to learn man....the arm has replacable joints sure, figure the cost of 4 of them and machine work...and well it usually is more...

its an e30 thing man, trust me

Fair enough. His car needs it badly though. Haha.

Why would he buy control arms? Why not just bushings?

If you want to do springs/shocks and all the front end shit, that would take a long time and might just be worth it to do Saturday, rather than be up real late on Friday night.

for people on a budget.

FCP groton, for the e30 connoisseur like me and VanWestervelt. Blunt sell CA's for about 100$ each and Tierods for 55.50 If I remember correctly.

Rear mounts, are about 20$ or so...fronts 50-100$ pair...

IMO If you are on a budget than you shouldn't put anything that says race or sport on your car ;)

Not tryin to be a dick, I am just saying


Saturday would probably work better for me as well. I am going to monster jam @ 7:30 and Sunday i am driving up to Lukes place.

Plus i want to meet Matt, I need a new boot

Austin is bringing a impact gun. And a buffer lol
No Matt, I didn't buy new shocks mounts. It all depends on how worn they are right? If they need replacing I'll go buy some. Wheres a good place where I can buy tie rods and control arms?

Id buy the arms and rods from blunt, as for the shock mounts, i recommend getting the IE ones. The rear suspension on e30's are weeeeak

I think you can use Z3 ones as an upgrade/fix?

The fronts have a bearing in them so id get those from blunt also, once you put in lowering springs servicing your front suspension becomes much easier because my H&R race try to fall out when i jack the car up.

Talk dirty to me and I'll let you and a few guys use my shop. Probably cut your install time in half, at least.

I would do unspeakable things for access to a shop! lol
