touring suspension swap extras.

I'm soon buying a new kit for my touring. I'll be getting struts and springs. The car has covered 118k but was sat for a few years.

I'm thinking a set of new top-mounts would be a start?

Thanks.

Top Mounts if they look worn out, bump stops as they have probably disintegrated over the years.

ECP do lemfoder ones. Best to contact meatballs82 on here. He has a link for contact details in the traders section.

Do as many of the rear bushes as possible. The Wiki has guides for most, including Touring-specific top mount installation:

There's loads of threads to look at on here about suspension upgrades, I'm currently sorting this all out now.

Here's one thread which has a few bits of good information..

Have a look through the "resto" projects on here to mainly in the Photo Gallery..

As mentioned in above posts; Its best to have a check through all bushes, really for a car of an age of an E30, it would be ideal to change them all..
