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.
touring suspension swap extras.

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

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..
