M3 front suspension

So I just purchased some suspension components off an e90 m3 for under 400$ and all brand new.

Front upper and lower control arms, bushings etc ( see: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=864091)

Anyone do this yet? I can't wait to get it onto my car!

Thanks guys!! As far as labor goes, not sure if I should do it myself or just take it to my shop. I'll have to find a diy.

Marcvtec, let me know how those swys feel.. Should be tight. Are you getting the brakes as well?

Not a new modification by any means, but it's one of the best $/feel upgrades I've done. WELL worth the buy. Get an alignment after.

Lol...I have no interest in an M3 or its engine. Great engine for sure though.

UPS? You're in trouble man. You should have asked for USPS instead. The only time you use UPS is when the item is being shipped from Canada.
