Let's get ready to rebuild!

[Blitzkrieg Bob]

gonna do the front end the weekend.

Think I got all the parts covered

Lemforder

upper & lower arms

tie rod ends

front & rear spring pads (fronts 3mm)

bump stops (to be trimmed)

New metal hubcentric rings

Eibach springs

oops forgot something......beer

[shogun]

Lucky you. I want to do the same, but still wait for the parts I ordered directly from Germany. Also will do the rear sus parts such as beer cans etc.
Bought a puller for that on German Ebay for around 80 EURO, fits with different parts on E30, E34 and E32.
Anyway, here it is still a bit cold to do that oustide.

[Blitzkrieg Bob]

for a rear mount puller.

that's not too bad...but postage from Germany is always 1 month...even in Germany

[shogun]

I usually have it here between 8-12 days shipped by the German postal office, which is the cheapest. Of course it can be faster but that costs more. You can calculate the price to USA here and see the fastest/slowest and the different prices.

Center link? How are the shocks? Seems a shame to disassemle the struts w/o changing the inserts.
Just thought I'd help you spend some of that beer money.
Oh yeah, sway bar links.

[Ferret]

Looks like they've been rebushed with 750 bushings and red repalcement boots that failed and let the dirt in.

Bastards... now I know better- but do it myself, duh! What sense does that make? :D

[Blitzkrieg Bob]

Pretty straight forward

[Blitzkrieg Bob]

[not much left

[632 Regal]

your tie rod boot looks trashed from the picture. Whats up with the rear bumpstops? Carrying double keggers in the trunk again no doubt.

Billies are already in

Bob--I didn't think you were a billie kind of guy. Did you fall off your 12-step program of resisting expensive, tempermental modifications?

Daring Darwin will miss me on this turn.

Bob, I'm jealous... how does she drive now..?

I've got to do the same.. pretty much everything across the board and I'll have a new car.

[Blitzkrieg Bob]

I had a shimmy & a Knock from bad ball joints.

And now it's all tight.

Drives real smooth at all speeds and under braking.

The Eibach springs lowered the car with a subtle drop and firmed up the ride, but not too hard. The progressive springs seem to lift the car just before you bounce.
