I didn't get to put my kit in last week, but I'm on target for this weekend. I just have a few questions?

1.) Front bump stops: Do I use the bump stops supplied with the kit as delivered or do I need to cut them down?

2.) Rear bump stops: Do I use the old ones as referenced in the installation instructions or none at all?

3.) Rear clip: The clip came located on the lower setting and I need to move up to the higher setting. It's a tight clip and I broke my snap ring pliers trying to open it enough to slide to the upper setting. Any easy methods to move this?

4.) Rear lower spring bushing: I've read on here that some have left this out while some have used it. The instructions mention to leave it out.

5. ) Has anyone installed this on a 530 and did you have any problems with the camber afterwards.....inner tire wear....etc? The specs in the kit call for Camber -13' +/- 30'.

I appreciate any comments on these questions. :D

Thanks,

Mark

installed the same kit last year on my 92' 535i

1) use um
2) use um
3) I used a pair of snap-on ...no problem
4) I left mine out
5) no real problems with tire wear ( I rotate mine every 5k)
6) you will have to adjust your low beams up some

How do you like the kit? What did it do for a drop on the front?
