And the clicking sounds like top mounts that need to be cleaned of grit. Do you have standard OEM style top mounts, or aftermarket camber plates?

Got mine from Sonic Tuning around Black Friday. Their prices are pretty competitive.

You may notice I didn't mention the Mfactory LSD shown in the pic. Well, when we cracked open the factory diff, it turned out to be welded My car is a Feb 2007 build, and based off all the applications charts out there, it was supposed to be bolted. Welded diffs were supposed to start from Mar 2007 for 6MT. So my case proves that the transition period actually starts in February. My car must have been built towards the end of the month. So LSD install is on hold for the time being...

I went through "Diff drama" a few years back. I went through Performance Gearing and what he eventually did for me was upgrade me to a larger 335i diff, with 3.38 gears. Very quiet and awesome lockup, no chatter.

nitehawk : We have brand new bolted 3.08 Ring & Pinions in stock ($599.95 after $200 rebate) if you can't find a good machine shop to do the work for you (would probably cost you more than that anyway)

Hello Everyone,
I know it has been a while since anyone updated this thread. I am very new to this type of a thing and have no clue how to get things right. Read this article and everyone's views and am very excited to get this mod done to my car as the existing suspension is really stiff and uncomfortable.

I had a few questions and which are:

Can this mod be done to a BMW E93 325i - 2009?
If possible can people please send me some links or part number where to get all the m3 bits and the other parts listed in this mod?
Where can I get the following items:
-M3 subframe bushings
-Powerflex Street Diff Bushings
-M3 Guide Rods, Wishbone Links
-Megan Racing Toe Arms
-15mm E93 rear bar.

Struggling to find the right part of the Megan Racing Toe Arms

If people have any alternatives or any other suggestions, your help will be very much appreciated.

PM me if you still need help. I have an E93 and recently went through the entire process of a full suspension upgrade.
