Default Anyone know who can do a good price on Eibach ARBs for M3?

Want to get an eibach ARB kit for mine as it's been established that this will help my understeer problem significantly (car has FAR too much bodyroll)

prices seem to be all over the place for them anywhere between 200 and 400 pounds!

so anyone know what i SHOULD be paying withot getting my pants pulled down or even better know someone who sells them for sensible money

seademon, it's in there now, parts turn up on tuesday

there's an engine mount donald ducked, so hopefully thats all it is also needs an oil seal on the gearbox doing and the cam sensor replacing.

oh, and my exhaust is broken both center boxes are knackered, so need to see if eibach will sell replacement boxes as i dont fancy spanding 400 off quid on a whole new cat replacement pipe!

Ah right cool! I know theres something that Martyn fitted to his M3 from the M3 convertible which tightens up the handling, cant remember what its called tho ha ha - might be worth asking him what price he can do the ARB's for aswell, he'll be able to get them.

you put m3 EVO topmounts on a non-evo and you get increased front camber? maybe that was it? also you swap the rear topmounts for convertible one to stop them breaking all the time.

paul, whilst youre there try and see what the part numbers/bbatch numbers are on my exhaust, i need to give them to Milltek

Nah it was something other than that - I'll ask him when I see him Thursday, something like a lower strut brace thats fitted to the cabriolet to stop the chassis flexing.
