As some of you may know iv been looking into changing the suspension set up on my car for the last few weeks well i started this evening

The Car as it is now with the nose dive look on a cheap jamex kit.




And "Most" of my bits lined up
Bilstein B4 gas front and back (Curtesy Of Anydp)
H&R -35mm springs
New control arms both sides
New Ties rods and track rod ends both sides
Replacement Rack (Curtesy of Zaust)
***Missing Parts***
Poly bush front kit with m3 eccentric TCA bushes and anti roll bar bushes


My lovely tool to remove the top strut collar knock it up at work




Also got rid of the flexi rubber bush and replaced it with some spacers also knocked up at work

I recognise this car is it badged 'e30' on the boot ?

[benji471]

The previous owner had it badged like that iv took them off and since spent a shed load of money and time on her

thought so, it was local to me (Huddersfield)
I used to see it every morning on the way to work ..

Yer im also from Huddersfield, bought it off a friend of a friend bargain or so i thought. Iv always been a mini man but iv been well an truly bitten by the E30 bug.

Well all went good this weekend managed to get the steering rack, tie rods, 4 shocks and 4 springs done Friday evening/Saturday. Not yet fitted the control arms and m3 bushes. But all i can say is i thought people were exaggerating when they said Bilstein and H&R where a good match transformed the car. Much quieter slightly firmer but much better hide quality not as bumpy and crashy. And IMO getting rid of the steering rubber makes a big difference.
