I will gladly organize a group by for this if there is enough interest (that is H&R Race springs)

If someone can compile me a list of H&R vendors that stock the e30 specific parts for us, i'll be glad to make the call.

If I dont hear from them today, im cancelling the order tomorrow with IE.

Why don't you call IE first to see what their status is on the springs. Would be sad if you cancelled and they were ready to ship.

I'm still waiting for Turner to call me back for a set of H&R coil overs.  Turner has pissed me off royally so much I really have no interest in giving them my business again.

For rear shock mounts, there are a multitude of options.  I guess E46 cabrio ones are the ones most people use now.  

As for the front upper strut bearings...  Just use the OE ones with 3/4 deg of camber built in.  This is an OE part, and you can find it by looking on Bavarian Autosports web site.

okay talked to a guy there today, same deal... shipment delayed a week.  i guess our calling in is useless, he says we'll all be notified asap when they arrive.....within the next few years hopefully...

i want to cancel, but afraid other HR Races have backorders too..

Crap what shock mounts are you guys getting? IE is out of theirs and now I'm stuck...What about E36 shock mounts?

Okay, while I hate Bill Turner's evil empire, that is in fact where I got these, and they are quite nice.  There's a "BMW shop fix" cheaper alternative as well that I'm guessing works just as well and is half the price, but these looked cooler.  :cool:



H&R has horrible inventory management.  I don't think they get the whole supply/demand thing.

Surrender the fantasy. Looks like IE stands for "imminently eternal"

I've seen some warnings about IE's rear camber correction kit (trailing arm cushing replacements) as well.  I've heard there are some issues and goofy design.  Anyone have these?

I have the KMAC ones.  They aren't great but at least are poly and fit well.

IE Camber kit.
« Reply #74 on: July 12, 2006, 10:56:41 AM »
It is a weld on part so you never know if it was installed correctly. A long time ago folks put spot welds on the washers after the car was aligned to keep the settings but I've heard this was corrected. The rear suspension crossmember is pretty light and is probably heat treated alloy.
