Just buy a new x-brace. They're only 110 shipped. | | | | | 01-27-2009, 01:04 PM | #3 | | Moderator Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Bouncing off the rev limiter in CT! Posts: 3,156 |
I have a set of ti sport springs availavle- front for sure, posibly rears too (I don't remember right now). I also have the rear sway bar (because I just had my hand on it a couple days ago) and possibly the front as well.
If you have a BMW scrap yard near you, all the E36 convertibles (not just M3 convertibles) have the X-brace unde them. That might be a cheaper alternative than new. You will still need riv-nuts and bolts for it. | | | | | 01-27-2009, 04:34 PM | #4 | | Member Join Date: Feb 2006 Location: Filthiest city in the world, USA Posts: 60 |

Given the BMW price increase, I think the lowest price is $165 (with free shipping) from Tischer/getBMWparts.com. I wish I would have bought it when it was $110 (and Kosei K1s from TireRack when they were $100 each, HIDs from DDM when they were $80, etc). | | | | | 01-27-2009, 04:39 PM | #5 | | Moderator Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Bouncing off the rev limiter in CT!

That's what I was thinking, but used might be in that price range... | | | | | 01-27-2009, 10:18 PM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Austin Posts: 3,059 |

After that... well nothing else really matters. ~Jess | | | | | | 01-27-2009, 10:59 PM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: Memphis, Tn Posts: 1,299 |

At least they came this way from the factory. __________________

The holes are drilled however- perhaps this is what changed in 94... | | | | | 01-28-2009, 03:24 AM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: çî†ÿ øf åNgëL§, CA Posts: 5,314 |
Well I bought mine for 110 shipped new. It was on the group buy section of bf.c. I'm not sure if it's still there. I bought mine like a year ago though. | | | | | 01-28-2009, 04:07 AM | #10 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 |
