Hiya,

Im after set of front and rear anti roll bars (3 way adjustable) with the drop links. Has anyone had the H&R ones?

Which ones are advisable to get?

Also after top mount adjusters/camber adjusters for the front only. Can anyone suggest a good place to go for these? and is whiteline any good?

Finally I need a set of track rod ends and lower swing arms with bushes ball joints etc

Hope you can help

Thanks in advance

Hi,

The H&R ARB's are 2 way adjustable for the rear and 3 way adjustable for the front. A majority of E30 owners use H&R.

Drop Links - you can use the standard ones or upgrade to Whiteline's

Adjustable top mounts are available from Eibach.

Track Rod ends and control arms are available from either BMW or ourselves along with the above items.

Thanks
Sal

I have eibachs! Equally good but like sal says if the HnR's are cheaper just get them! I doubt you will ever notice the difference between the two sets anyway on the road. I got mine for cheap (very cheap) which is why i have them and not HnR.

Great mod though!

They are no were to be seen online! Sal does them for £245. I have seen a Kmac set on Ste Nelsons touring and they looked like the absolute fu*king don but they are seemingly expensive. Ireland Engineering and ground control also do them but importing from da USi is a mission.

All i no about the eibachs is that you can adjust 1.5 negative camber to 2.5 positive camber (if i remember right) and can also adjust castor.

They are on my xmas list :D

Best adjustable tompmounts are the moseley ones IMO, give you the most adjustment but are in excess of £300 now :o

The other mounts that go under the turret limit you to -2/2.5 degrees

I've gone for DIY ones for £14.50 and give me -4.5 degrees ;)

Yeh plenty I reckon

I was looking at the list of goodies thinking there has to be some track time planned with that though, why would you need adjustable topmounts on a road car- as I say me jumping to assumptions

Mosely ones here, out of budget at the mo, so i'm stuck with my gippo diy version:

Topmounts
These items provide camber adjustment upto approx 3.5 degrees negative camber and also provides ride height adjustment after setting corner weights on adjustable platform type front up rights. Suggested for competition use only.

Price £298.00

Now modified to provide sculptured plate to allow fitting onto standard inner wing.

I think the price has gone up though :?

Worth noting all the quoted figues are additional camber, so when you lower a car you get some neg, the adjustablility is onto of that
