Not too sure where i would post this otherwise.

Anyway, the 318 is in need of some loving.

Parts to be replaced some upcomming weekend:
Front Swaybar links
Electric fan [$40 for a new shroud or 35 shipped for an electric]
Spring hats to drop the front end a little more and ruin my oil pan a little quicker
New Roundels for the 15" baskets
And its time to replace the clutch! woo wee

Sooooo soon!! I finally heard the word, 4 17x7.5 Hyperblack Kopis, need some love, but under 300 bucks for the set

I hear the electric fan mod. Looking into that soon!

The front spring cups...I just cannot justify $165 on some stamped metal. Yes yes dies cost $$$, but they pay off quickly too.

I would not be able to justify that much money on spring hats either.

That being said; $59

Hey Kidney Boy,

I know this is an old thread, but how did you go with these cups?

Has anyone else used them?

I want to use them but i was concerned with the amount that they said the car comes down.

TIA

They look the same as the ones BMP used to sell.

If what is said in the link is correct, then that is exactly what I want.

I can't come down much more than 1/2" without suffering on the drivability front.

Considering the Bekkers ones are $60 and the BMP ones were $159 I would be inclined to go the bekkers option if all I have to do is trim them up a little.
