  1. and you listed the ohlins! what suspension do you have now?
  2. If Ben wont I can help make that happen getting these to you... I need some parts from Sweden that we can make a swap on... they wont ship to USA but they will to the Netherlands... https://www.bneshop.com/collections/p80/products/93-97-m56-spherical-shift-bearings
  3. best option stateside is the spherical bearings from BNE Dynamics
  4. great products - dont use them often but have used them the last year or two with success honestly more grateful that i dont have to use them recently too the gb40 on the plane with me to go buy a car in michigan and drive it home. trusted it to charge my phone/jump the car in the cold if i needed it but then... didnt need it... so, im happy with that too lol
  5. great product i have the noco genius10 and the noco boost plus gb40 as a lithium jump starter to travel with etc
  6. dang. rest in peace Johann
  7. if you are so interested in car faxin me check your sellll fonn ya bish
  8. how does carfax work these days - anybody on here with the hookup?
  9. in the process of buying new ipd front sway mounts/poly bushings - mine are plenty old enough and have never been re-lubed
  10. Awesome - I love that the hatch opens to the cab too
  11. i think its my rack too - i need to purge/replace fluid to start i just had a pretty lengthy alignment at a local shop after re-doing the entire suspension with coilovers... my alignment, to me, is fine only things that arent new are the control arms and tie rods (but they have less than 20kmiles but are probably 10 years old) and to add - the steering is only super loose on highway - i can make minor adjustments with the wheel and nothing happens. my buddy said to adjust toe to see
  12. how often do you kids replace your control arms on your p80 AND with what? Lemforder is the OE right? Its the only thing in my entire suspension that I havent replaced as of late in years (its been done back in the day) and I still have loose steering on the highway (maybe its the 'toe'?) and what hurts the most is some noises/clunk on small low speed bumps (axles are relatively new too - raxle axles in fact)
  13. at one point that was a VERY rare sought after scooter. I remember those days.
  14. anyone on here can check a vin to see if it has the polestar optimization?
  15. had to look that up... had no idea subaru was making that... and i keep up with new cars quite a bit i thought... nice!
  16. everyone i know around me has Lyme disease including myself - ticks are everywhere here in SE PA
  17. Matt this is soo cool man - ive said it before... i hope you are proud, this is amazing.
  18. welp, i asked on the facebook group... lets see what i get lol.
  19. any of those friends volvo friends? they lift their volvos from the pinch welds? Gabe those are nice jack stands - i have seen those around before and know of lots of great comments about them. Love your bmw!
  20. i dont have the height for a true lift... if i did i would have prioritized money towards that a long time ago. the quickjack, when on sale seems like a decent medium, its still pricey but seems a fuck ton safer and easier than jacks and stands or ramps etc. i want to do the entire rear end of the 850 and cant have it up in the air at the rear jack points (deltas) because i need to replace them haha - so the pinch weld idea suits me well.
  21. i've thought the same, regarding tipping... and there are vids of people leaning in to them while raised and even the stress tests... I think once I see it in person, and add additional support under the car I will feel comfortable. Just not 100% sold on this 'use the pinch welds' approach on our cars - especially with the plastic rocker panel terminating there too and could easily get compromised when lifting. Probably better off asking this on the facebook page but always hesitant with that lol
