Hello-
I was wondering if anyone can confirm the z3 trailing arms to be an exact swap?
Are sport bilsteins ok to use with stock springs?
How can you tell if the springs are bad?
I'm about to renew:
shocks/struts
all 4 mounts
driver side trailing arm (thinking it's bent--way towed out)
sub bushings
trailing bushes
wheel bearings
f/r brakes/rotors
anything else?...swaybar links?
maybe camber adj. f/r....mayber ireland eng. toe kit...
.....I can't wait.....z3 trailing arms?? I can get one delivered....Thanks-

you could check the ETK to see if the part numbers are the same ( www.realoem.com/bmw). not sure if anyone has swapped a z3 arm in before or not. i would think the bilstein sports would be fine with your stock sport suspension. __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles
