i did the install myself. it was pretty easy, although the Eibach instructions are pretty vague. i reused a lot of the hardware on the car but Eibach did supply new bushings, metal mounts, bolts, washers, and nuts. i didnt use all of the bolts, washers, or nuts but i figured that there would be extras b/c the kit is for the E30, 318ti, and the Z3. hell you arent working on your car correctly if you dont have left over hardware right? haha
The kit is not for E30, only for the ti. It is not even listed for the Z3 in the Eibach catalogue, though it will fit

Hahahah - I just did a rough calculation at USPS.com. Sending this kit to Greece would cost $106. That's not including the $45 it would take to get to me. I'm going to guess that's not happening for you.

I still haven't gotten a reply from Eibach - I was told someone would get back to me. Go figure.

I would lean toward the $151, simply because I am unsure as to whether that is an accurate rate or not. It's just the estimate that USPS gave me online, and that estimate is only good online. It's more expensive if I have to go to the actual post office (which I would have to do). There *has* to be a cheaper method for you to get the bars locally.

I have no problem sending them to you if that is what you wish, but that's a steep price. Hmm...I wonder if my site will even accept foreign funds...

I could send the money from Paypal, but 150 is too much for shipping cost! Let me know if u find sth cheaper

Hey guys,

Eibach has more in stock and are ready to go. Line 'em up! Remember, at least batches of three.

316i: I don't think it's going to get much cheaper than what I quoted you. FedEx wanted about $250-280 to ship to Athens from MD, USPS would be a minimum of $151, and I doubt UPS would be much different. I recommend finding a local shop in Europe that can get it for you.

I had Eibach sways on my Neon and I am pretty sure I paid less then that. Not sure what the neon bars cost vs the ti bars but i think I paid around 200$

i usually see Eibach bars going for about $340ish. this is a good gb b/c it is getting harder and harder to find components for the Ti, especially suspension parts like sway bars.

Dodge vs. BMW

Big difference in pricing for parts.
