Excellent work Orb! As usual.
I'm sorry to say that the current economic crises has curtailed my prolific modding for the time being, but the fact that we can replicate the ever excellent suspension performance of the current M3 means that I will be able to enjoy modding my 335 for years to come |

I corrected my first post as I listed the wishbone which can be changed but the key parts are tension struts.

The rear subframe bushings, that will take you a whole day without proper tools! Even with it, it will take you a good 5-6 hours. We have done many E36/46 subframe bushings and will not do them without the proper tools. |

Being mechanically not inclined...
If I were to order the subframe bushings, and the tension struts...what would I be looking at for install costs?? (and just to be sure..the subframe bushings, and the tension struts are the only thing to add? Or was there something else) Just trying to put this all together for myself thanks in advance

I had realoem open at the same time, so I was looking at both but you kept talking about the wishbone. I'm glad you caught that.

Here's the big question:
Does an alignment need to be performed if just replacing the front tension struts/wishbone ellements?

What?? We do have wishbones #14.
http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...14&hg=31&fg=05 And, what about the alignment? Does the alignment need to be done when changing out these? Quote:

Another question for you guys:
If the only difference is the rubber mounts, then why don't we just order number 15 in the pic and replace the bushing in our tension links? Or is the entire tension link different from ours?

slightly confused through all the reading (but i've gone through it all), but is it too big of a request to get a complete list (summary for e92 / e90) of parts to get, with typical install times (w/ proper tools)
ie FRONT SUSPENSION • xxx (2hr) REAR SUSPENSION • xxx (5hr) that would be GREATLY appreciated, maybe even listing the benefits of each mod too? thanks in advance Last edited by dArNeLLi; 10-15-2008 at 08:33 PM.. |
