Well, not really. And it's not really an installfest, since we were only working on one car. But here's a gallery of pics of the rebuilding of the suspension on my e30. Pretty much every suspension and steering piece (except the rack) is new, all bushings are done including the subframe, new rotors and SS brake lines. LSD and ssk get installed next weekend.

So, are you an expert now? I just sent a package to Ground Control this morning :devillook

Calling me an expert would be a huge stretch. But I'm pretty sure I could walk you through replacing subframe bushings and rtabs on the e30. You'll need a sawzall and torch....

I think I'm going to have replaced about every piece of rubber underneath the car by the time I'm done. Other than the rear sway end links and the driveshaft center bearing, all of the bushings were in pretty good shape for a 14 year old car.

What subframe bushings did you get again?

The rear sway endlinks on mine are in pretty bad shape. They're on the list. The front bushings that hold the sway bar to the tub were even worse. One was totally gone and the other had slid down the sway bar and was totally ineffective as a bushing.

I haven't done the subframe bushings or RTABs (yet).
