Hi, Looks like i need to enter 5 posts before i can ask the really stupid questions! I am a 1st time BMW owner and used to have VWs (seems a common factor in here). I just bought a clean high mileage 96TI with 180k. It needs some head work, P/O said it broke a cam???? Dont know how that happened but oh well. It is hard to find rust free cars around here and this one was cleaner than most i looked at with lower miles. SO i pulled the trigger. My friend is a big BMW nut and a mechanic but a little bit of a hack. He will be doing most mechanical work so ill need advice from experienced owners with mods. 1st order of business is to fix the head and get her rolling again, then i want to tackle the suspension. I've read the suspension primer and the more i read, the more massive this job looks. Well have fun and dont burn me too bad for newb questions! Thanks! | | | 09-24-2011, 07:34 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 | suspension's not too bad if you do it in steps, I'd start with springs and shocks all around. if it's the original suspension I'm sure your rear springs are both broken | | | 09-24-2011, 10:04 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2010 Location: Potomac Falls VA DMV Posts: 1,794 | Suspension isn't bad at all. If your a previous dub owner. You may want coils. If so, get some D2's!

I was never much into the stance stuff, looks cool but living in Pennsyltucky it is very impractical. I'm going to go with the TC Kline kit i think. Reading in the suspension faq it looks like ill have quite alot of hours spent replacing bushings, and it seems baffling which ones to buy. I searched and cant find out if different grade oem bushings are available so i need to figure that out. I def. dont want poly. I had them in a 91 16V Gli i had and it was nasty. I basically bought this as a stylish toy and as i am an antique dealer i can stuff the back full of goodies! | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
