It did make a noticable difference compared to the year before. Maybe you can get ahold of the installation instructions? __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 12-20-2004, 02:28 PM | #3 | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 | i'm wondering if those docs mentioned in the ETK for the kit aren't the instructions or at least some special notes about it. the internet parts guy at crevier bmw in CA has been very helpful on some other things, maybe i can find out what those docs/notes are from him, maybe even get a copy/printout. i was hoping someone had already installed it, could give details and such (including how much of a PITA it is) | | | 12-21-2004, 02:40 AM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Saint Paul, MN Posts: 3,244 | pretty sure chris at understeer.com did it.

Did you ever get around to installing this? Pretty simple? I'm thinking about doing the same on my 97, and would much appreciate seeing the directions before ordering.
