My Suspension Goodies :)

Greetings Just like to say this forum rocks and always has helpful members and learning more about the E53.

Anyhow, I just wanted to show my setup. H&R Kit, Poly Front Bushes (Track & Thrust Arms), Rear Bushes, Blistien Struts, Eibach Sways F/R, Dinan Strut Bar, Camber Plates, Kmac Kit, S/S Brake Lines!

All I can say is that the X feels like a SAV go-kart. lol the feeling I have knowing that the X is, solid like a rock, puts a everlasting smile on my face it is just a sensetional feeling driving, turning, etc. The quality of the ride is still there and it is not lost, oviously it's a bit "stiffer" but I can't complain.

Also posted a picture of the old thrust arm bushes and where it has come apart from the metal. I could push each end out about 1/2" back n forth! so the poly bushes are definetly worth it! Enjoy!

If you get the rear flares it will look absolutely stunning but even without them it looks super nice!

How much was the Dinan brace? Can you really feel the difference?

My only question...... Whats up with the home made spring compressor?

(don't get me wrong, as long as it gets the job done safely then )

Very nice.

I just did my springs but went with B&G. Eibach sway bars on order. Just got a call today from Bav auto that they will be delayed until next month and I have already been waiting a month.

Sway bars worth the $$$$?

What to you think of the KMAC bolts? They are for the rear adjustment?

Now you just need some spacers.

Hello again, Thanks for the comments guys!

Redline- I had installed the sways first, if u check out my post (search Eibach) u will see my thread...Well worth it, I got mine from Tire Rack... Yes the Kmac for rear... I am still iffy on the spacers.. i dont know why.

Sethro - I got it from Dinan directly, we had our dollar close with usd, that is when i bought. i think about 400 plus shippin, i know sounds a bit deep but if i had ordered the one from UK by the time it ships id save about 100 bucks but in the end i paid for Dinan. Thought it was better style and design.

Weasel -Haha hey if the shoe fits....it worked great! stop buggin thanks for ur help as always.
