Well that was not as bad as I thought it might be. Few scraped knuckles but other than that was relatively painless.

Feels bloody solid at the back now with the new springs , sub frame bushes and shocks.

Had a couple of foot to the floor pull aways and the squatting on the OSR has gone at last

Sparky68 · 06-19-2014, 04:54 PM

OMG hard ride but the difference in handling is awesome, should of done this ages ago

idnan · 06-20-2014, 03:29 AM

Sorry Mark missed you tagging me in here.

Million dollar question, has the rear end rumble/vibration gone?

Sparky68 · 06-20-2014, 03:57 AM

Seems to have mate but wont know for sure until I get it realigned at the weekend. Certainly accelerates and handles a lot better, feels like it's a lot more planted.

phil200tdi · 06-20-2014, 06:39 AM

Where did you buy the Whiteline bushes?

Sparky68 · 06-20-2014, 06:42 AM

Got them from a online place based in Scotland , @idnan gave me the link , will see if I can find it.

Enjoying your updates as I have a very similar (silver) E90 335i although an M Sport so I've had fewer jobs to do!

I just wondered about your Alpina gearbox upgrade. What are the major differences in your experience and does it get rid of the 'surge' when changing down at high revs?

Sparky68 · 06-21-2014, 04:49 PM

Makkan did my upgrade, and gave me 6 points. Got caught on the way back chasing a 911 at 106+ Not really Sams fault, I think i scared him on the flash test to be fair.

Sparky68 · 06-24-2014, 05:17 PM

Alignement time again tomorrow 4th in 6 months!, on the plus side my whole rear end as been pretty much rebuilt so should last lol

It blips the throttle on downshifts which is great when you are about to give it some. Gear changes are so much better,a lot smoother.

Before you do... I've got some rear m3 arms coming off my car soon.

Sparky68 · 06-25-2014, 02:33 PM

Ah ok sounds perfect. I get annoyed at the 'surge' when changing down but I'm guessing the blip gets rid of this. Might have to consider it...

Speak to Sam [Makkan on here] he is just across the border from you in Essex.

Sparky68 · 07-11-2014, 04:42 PM

Grr now have a annoying whining noise from the back and it aint the kids! Diff maybe?

phil200tdi · 07-12-2014, 03:39 AM

It'll be the harder bushes transferring the noise which was always there.. Common complaint after going with poly bushes etc..

Marshall878 · 07-12-2014, 09:12 AM

Defo keeping my eyes peeled for this.

Looks great

I've got the same subframe bushes and full aluminium diff bushes and only have a very faint whine.

It could be a heatshield as I had massive whine which was a bent heatshield touching the prop.

Will get it on a ramp and have a look, you may well be right mate because we pulled the heatshield away when looking at the guibo

@idnan Parked the car on a nice flat surface today and noticed the nsr sits about 20mm lower than the osr , what would cause that?
