Not silly TBH; mix of TRW/Moog and Lemforder parts for all the arms, via Autodoc
Sachs top mounts all round, via Autodoc
OEM BMW gaskets/rubber perches/dust boots/bump stops via Cotswolds BMW
Bilstein B4S shocks and Eibach pro kit springs from Autodoc
It adds up; but it's still hell of a lot cheaper than going BMW's route etc
I toyed with the idea of coilovers; but just too firm for my liking, more so for an every day driver etc
I didn't bother with the M3 arms; they really aren't all that and push the front wheels forward too; so you've to faff with shims to get them where they need to be. Just lowering the car will give you more camber to play with etc. My pals did a superb job getting all the work done and then the tracking/alignment and fast-road set up for me
Car really drives and handles superbly now; that rear-end looseness has gone completely
