Savings look nominal to me. U might want to check locally. Personally, I feel it is not worth the hassle of going to Singapore, haggling with the customs, paying toll, etc. That is unless u have some jalan to bypass all the hassles.
bro,where to source out front and rear shocks? if i change the shocks,do i need to change the spring? mine sudah stiff oredi.
First Division, CSS or Bomin shld be able to help u out. Personal preference for Bilstein Sports. Seem to be very well made and can last a long time. Springs shld still be OK to use, unless u intend to lower. Lowering makes it look aggressive, but u will have problems with poorly designed humps around my area. My guess is that the gap between the fender and tyres at the front is at least 4 fingers wide. Springs can be easily be obtained from Speedworks - Hotbits aka Intrax. About RM1,100 Harder to get - H&R from Speedzone - price incl airfreight -RM2000+. If u decide to go for H&R, make sure that they get it sent with their regular consignment - then, price should be around RM1200. DO NOT, i repeat, DO NOT cut your springs!!!! Good luck!!!
haha,will not cut my springs wan... thanxs bro!!will check it out,how bout the eibach springs? heard that it goes well with bilstein shocks. thanxs!!
Don't know if still available. Hotbits are a little soft. U can have a ride next week at the Older Bimmers meet
paint job Hi ichiwan2, Can you recommend me the place that you do the full stripdown paint job, cheap and good? I'm thinking of doing it on my 1988 E28. Btw, you know any good upholstery shop to do the interior? Thanx...
