I'd go with the Lemförder as I believe they are the OEM for those...Quote:

Good deal. Looks like FCP is the place to get them. May's looking like an expensive month [emoji849]Quote:

What size is the drain and fill plug on the diff and the trans ?

The hole the plugs go in or the female receptacle for the tool (in the plug)? (That almost sounds naughty)Quote:

Going to be doing a drain and refill on the diff this evening.Quote:

Those shock mounts look a bit toast.
Get some rogue mounts, dude. And some FSDs. ;)

It's fine. Don't worry about it. It's just the car's way of telling you it's time to live the stance lyfe. As Archer says, it's not a problem if it's*:Quote:

I really need to. I drive through a poor area of town on my way to work and the city doesn't care about poor people roads. Driving my Mazda with FSD's is downright pleasant in comparison.Quote:
And some FSDs. ;)
nah....Quote:

i think koni has stuff on sale now, grab some FSDs! i might get some for the wifey's Touring.
Ugh. Fine. I'll do it.Quote:

Looks like the best price right now is at AutoAnything (link)
$622.22 - 3% ($18.67) cash back through Ebates (link) - $70 MIR through Koni (link) = $533.55 total
Really can't beat that for magic filled shocks with a lifetime warranty. Does AutoAnything ship to the Great White North?
they don't ship to the US, but it looks like i can still buy from them.Quote:

kinda torn between those and the bilstein B4... they are $310 shipped for a set. hmmmmZ.
You'll need to register for Ebates (link) and use their link to direct you to the AutoAnything website. They give you a portion of their finders fee in the form of a check. I added the Chrome plugin just this week and it lets you just activate the cash back while you're already on the site.Quote:

nice. i should check that out because i'm wanting to book a 4/5-day getaway for my wife's 40th this summer.Quote:

Has 125k miles, 3rd owner, eisenmann exhaust, brand new summer tires on original CSL rims, M3 cluster, OEM struts/shocks on lowering springs (seems too low for my taste)... Been on sale for about 3 months now, last posted price was 15.000€ which is around $16.300 and he got no bites. Tried to talk him down over the phone and he says he would take 14k € (15.300 USD).
No doubt a lot of work went into this car (G-Power kit alone is over $3k), but it still seems a bit steep to me. 3 months up and it didn't sell.
What do you guys think?
Should I worry about replacing spring pads when I change things out? I'm just going to buy the ECS "cup kit install kit." It's a $40 difference to get new spring pads, and I'll probably put H&R springs in eventually.
I remember someone posting this exact same car sometime ago and asking if they should buy it...Quote:
