So so so.. Long time no Update, Sold The Alpinas, Tech 1 sides and rear spoiler.

Bought Some Vmaxx Coilovers from Hans, All i now need is Bump Stops and new strut top hats.

Should get my new 16's all painted next week. and should pass my cert recheck.

Will post up some update pics soon.

Hey guys can anyone comment on where i can buy some front bumpstops for my e30's front struts? Cheers Andrew

How much are you looking at spending ?

What is a stock 325i swaybar size ?

Anybody have any 2nd Hand Lowering Springs ?

Saw a Turbo White Coupe e30 going up Ormiston Road today, had a massive front mount. Plates: EK or EZK something.

if im around i will be there

Im sorted now cheers

Wrong centre bore size to small.

Sweet will do Cheers.

Haha could well be need to get these first before i can do anything really..Someone must have some lying around.

Only need Struts/Hubs no springs or shocks. Cheers Andrew

Wow! Thanks for all the comments guys, I already have to get a cert for my car so adjustables arent too big a deal. ^^bmpower I have done most/all things- (apart from sway bars) to my car so im not cutting out the koni/H&R option. Have been to a few Welders Re. Coilovers and they all seem to be able to do it but at a price $$$.

Cheers Andrew

I would be using BC Gold Set up, I have to get a cert anyway due to the new engine and spacers im running. Cheers for the advise guys

Anybody ?

Hey guys im looking for opinions on shocks/springs vs coilovers, my car is going to be mainly used for road/weekend driving, but i would also like to take it out on the track some days.

Is there a big benefit apart from height adjustment? - If i were to go shocks/springs i would be using Koni damper adj. shocks

Yeah mate, i believe it is the spring perch. The other set i have also has The spring Perch cut away and the threaded plate welded to the strut body- not the casting, so im insure if it needs crack testing.

This is the only link i have that relates to certs: http://www.lvvta.org.nz/CertThresholdScheduleApril04V3.pdf

Keen to help out with NDT if i fail this time around ?

Also after a set of front struts & top hats, 45mm or 51mm.

What coilovers have you played with APT? Im in the market for some soon, hard work sorting out whats good whats bad and whats required for a cert.

Tried BC GOLD's need to be crack tested and TIG welded by certified welder.

Have got another front set here made by autolign which is what im using on my next recheck hopefully it passes.

Had a talk with the certifier and if the load points have been altered with any coilovers then they have to be crack tested and TIG welded.

Ishh..Its a pain in the ass to cert coil overs on e30's, Welds have to be crack tested and TIG welded..Ive got 2 sets of coil overs now.. Just seeing whats out there really.

Question: Does Vmaxx Coilovers for e30's need a perch welded on for the adjustable platform? or can it sit in the normal spring perch.

Hey Guys im after:

LOW! Lowering springs, pair or set. eg.H&R/Bilstein or Superlow Kings

A good set of Shocks: eg. Bilstein HD or Koni

Aftermarket Rear Swaybar: 18+mm

Also a Adjustbale Camber Plate.

Ideally After a H&R Cupkit or similar

Cheers Andrew

What sort of e36 are you after ?

Thanks Dave.
