Have saw you a couple of times recently. Once parked outside my neighbours in Limetree Lodge a couple of weeks ago. Also saw the expression on your face when you met a s*itter pink/purple e36 on Longstone street on Friday evening past. Lol.
Looking good sir.
I'm just enjoying mine too .
I'd high recommend the B12 kit. I was jumping between the M3 and a few other cars last week, I do have to say the ride quality is fantastic. OEM in quality at low speeds, thats even compared to much more modern machinery! I say do it
That's what I am thinking, The B12 kit with RE Rear top mounts and Eibach ARB, would probably polly bush the rear too. Then I am thinking BBK's or alcons after that to beef up the stoppers, When I explain this to my mechanic he says no "leave it alone" but I still have this voice in my head with modding ideas lol
I might go for the Eibach ARBs myself. But I'll rebush the rear first to see what that does.
I've a new rear end waiting to get painted and rebushed, so I will do most things then.
IMO I would tweak the breaks before replacing them. Unless you are doing track work, I think the OE stuff is grand. A rebuild, fresh fluid and braided lines help loads. However I did have concerns over the front pads, but since they have bedded in they seem grand.
I'd be worried about NVH from poly bushing the rear end. I personally will go OEM and use the RE spacers for the trailing arm bushes.
Loving the E36 lad, looks really well in those photos.
The CSL, who's is that? Haven't seen that one around, is it ChrisB's? Last time I seen his, he didn't have a plate though...
I have changed the break fluid and will change front discs and pads all round as rear discs are still good. The car will not see a track in my ownership and the only real reason I want to upgrade the breaks is for the looks of a nicer calliper and bigger disc lol I think if I am going to rebush the rear I will used OE bushes with RE spacers as you suggest in the trailing arms. Again though none of this is necessary and everything is nice and tight as it and I have every confidence in the car when driving in a spirited manner.
Your damn right it will never see a track!!! lol.
Rear was Newly Bushed shortly after I got it, everything was replaced including the rear top-mounts, so it should be all good in there, hence how nice it is to steer.
