then install

its a special suspension setup for the e93 str8 from harold at HP autowerks

We arent going with the DAs because they wont fit the springs..back to Koni Yellows

That should take about 1200 off the price

itsbrokeagain · 08-05-2010, 03:40 PM

And its only the rear M3 Control arm...not the camber link...camber is adjusted on the control arm LOL. But the velocity motorcars arms will get your tires flat on the road again

LOL book time is 10 hours, customer pay is 16. Its a LOT of work.

Steven wants to attempt this on the ground without a lift..

So if I grew up on Long Island, that means I can partake in the postwhoring, right?

We had the DC Chat thread going for a while, but it has been dead for years.

That seems like a ton of work.

Just curious. How many hours would it take a reputable shop to install a S/C, like the ESS S/C on the new M3?

Some people were not happy about that meet. It somewhat drove a couple of people away from the forum.

prolly 8-10 hours. ESS kits for the E46 took me about a day in the half when they first came out in like 02-03...I did 2 non intercooled kits and 3 intercooled ones..an air-to-air cooler in the bumper, so all the time to cut and trim and fit everything took forever...

Maybe it was a different meet. It was one that I did not attend. I think a lot of people felt pressured about a couple of things.

what are you talking about..it took 5 to get them OUT, and I still have to swap the housings over and putting them back in, so Im looking at another 6 hours at least.

plus oil change, bleed the cooling system, fix a couple of other mistakes from other installs, should be ok.

Tryin to get Dan to change the waterpump and t-stat while im in there, but only the dealer has them (no aftermarket models out yet) and its a cool $500 just for the pump

So much for doin it this time....wait til it shits then change it LOL

They have college friends that live in Wexford we used to visit.
