Rear suspension KAPUT

[O'Neill]

Those go on top of rear damper struts in the boot. Where you put the e36 strengthening plates when using a full rear coilover.

These

Cheers Barry, yep I've got the plate and will be leaving it in for the standard set up

Matt do the paper gaskets go inside the boot or underneath?

And I still need to know how to strip down to get the bump stop off

The composite gasket lives on the outside between the top mount and the outside of the rear wheel arch to keep the outside elements out :thumbs:
To strip down all you do is remove the top nut and everything will just slide out in order... pay careful attention to where certain washers go. The rubber boots go over the top of the rear shock assembly once it's all back together and bolted up. Don't be tempted to put them on before mounting the rear dumper onto the chassis as it'll be a bastard to fit. Spray a bit of silicone spray onto the rubber boot for easy of installation :smokin:

Thanks Matt :thumbs:

Easy peasy.
All questions answered.
I changed out the top mounts due to the spring and the damper going on the same side. I thought I might have damaged it.

Everything was original so was needing refreshed anyway.
Front getting attacked next!!!!

It all seems fine apart from the brakes. I guess they ran out of budget.

Gaute/fuchsrohre was right, nowt wrong with the brakes.

As a road car I agree. But as a car aimed at track use they are not up to scratch.

That's your opinion, have you had the standard brakes fail on track?

[s.mac]

I still have the squealing APs on :bigcry: apart the :smokin: lookinG factor I have to agree with O'Neill. I will be keeping the brakes on but changing the pads.

The ride is so much better with new OEM suspension
