some more goodies for the car and more work for me 
a nice pair of eibach arb's with correct bushes .....
some front Billie B8's and matching rears ......
the rears have rose jointed top mounts
and i've had some turret plates ready to go on for a while that i'll be using this time lol [keep forgetting to fit them]
and not forgetting the final part to complete the full B12 kit are the front eibach -35/40 mm springs as i have the saloon rears already fitted .

i've got the matching saloon rears inc the the flake lol .DanThe wrote:Well worth the time and money to have that lot on your chariot Mick
I think I would have to get the springs blasted and powder coated though, theyre nearly as bad as an E46 turds springs!
i sold the tourings rears to a chap on here as they would've been cab/touring specific .
the rears i bought of Iain Hamilton when i first got the car many moons ago now .
always room for improvement

there has been some "strong" money pumped into that F*** UCR ,on the way home through the scenic route twisties in the touring the decision was made that i had to have these parts and sell on the parts that come off my car instead .
my diff isn't diffin like it should,i think the clutch plates are on the way out so it's rebuild or replace with a loong one like a 2.9? and e36 manual box . the set up has to match what i have now [3.64 318is box] so what ratio diff should i look for i think a 3.07 returns same as a 3.91 e30 box ?
more expense

0.81 is the conversion factor.
E.g. 3.91 x 0.81 = 3.17
E.g. 3.91 x 0.81 = 3.17

Nice one Mick, the rear ARB is easier than it looks, those drop links come off with just one nut+bolt then the ARB bush brackets are a single bolt each side.
Looking good mate
