Hey Ben,
I was talking to Hakan and others about using Urethane bushings on the car and it isn't really worth it. They will squeek over time and they can be just a bit too stiff for the streets.

Used sway bars are out there, but rather difficult to find from what I've heard. I've also been told to run stiffer bars in the rear like the ones found in the touring and stock or just a bit larger in the front.

From all I've learned, there are many different combinations that can make your car either oversteer or understeer... what are you looking to do with your enhancements?

I was suggesting the Bilstein shocks with the H&R springs, but you could probably go with a Sachs kit all around for much cheaper through BMA instead... I would search for feedback on that one. Oh, they do give the discount if you mention that you're with the E34.net group to, don't forget!

So... when you're ready to do the work, let me know... I'll be the first one in line to offer help if my schedule permits! I'm begining to feel a Tech Session coming on!

-Eric
