Title: Lots of new suspension stuff!
Post by: P. Kennedy on July 02, 2008, 06:27:53 PM
Over the past several days, I have installed new adjustable Koni's, H&R 27446 springs, Suspension Techniques sway bars front & rear plus an E36 M3 steering rack.  Things feel a whole lot better as you can imagine.  Car has 164,000 mi and I believe all suspension WAS original.

Here's my question:  Why doesn't Suspension Techniques include front sway bar links in their kit?  The kit has rear links, why not fronts?

Are there any interesting aftermarket front links I can pursue, or should I just go OEM?

Thanks.

...but a friend / co-worker has pics on his iPhone.  I'll see if I can get them uploaded.

I plan on using this as a rough guide to fabricate my own sometime in the near future.  I also want to get the tabs (I think Turner sells them) for the front and go E30 M3 style.  http://www.uucmotorwerks.com/html_techtip/techtips/sway_bar_links.htm

There was also a group buy on r3v for all the hardware, but I think it's over now :(

FCP Groton sell teh front links.

I got them in the kit of stuff I fitted to my car. I would guess you can get them separate. They were OEM items not "aftermarket" as well.

I would guess you could get themfrom all teh usual suspects though (BMA, Bimmer World, Bav Auto etc.).
