E39 suspension refresh

[mcung13]

As my car is old and done 142000 miles, it is time for suspension refresh.

Some of the parts have been replaced over time, but most is original. So plan is to replace most of it. Only front upper control arms will remain old, as i replaced them about 10000 miles ago. And i am not sure about eibach anti roll bar kit yet.

I made up a list of some sort. I have added prices and places where i was planning to buy. If anyone has some recommendations, please let me know.

So here we go

Might as well do the sub frame bushes while you're at it

[Gar]

Eibach prokit 150 euro delivered to door from ebay.de ;-)

Save yourself 87e

May aswell do complete track rods is well while in there and as dave suggests above definitely worth doing

Be worth asking keanes for a quote is well on everything bar the shocks they might be able to give +15% off as its a big order

[satumashirt611]

get a quote from super4,cab is sound and with such a big order he probably beat them prices and save you a fortune..so much money..

[mcung13]

Thanks Dave and Gar.

Added them to the list.

I will send an email to Frank Keane and see what they will offer me.

I will keep the list updated with prices, if i find better ones. It will help me to keep track where to buy and what and hopefully, if someone plans an upgrade themselves, it would serve as some sort of guide price.

+1

And gentleman to speak with.

[mcung13]

Eibach anti rollbar kit is in the plan now, as i just bought it.

[kaveman]

Have you done the engine mounts? I got mine done at around that mileage and it improved the ride a lot.

[Dave]

If you're doing the engine mounts, which are next on my list, do the vacuum lines

[mcung13]

Thanks kaveman. I will add engine mounts to the list

@Dave - Do you know what diameter vacuum lines are needed for engine mounts?
