Some unexpected "surprises" with the horrible z3 reinforcement plate that was welded in as a replacement shock mount that was torn out previously

and Jay definitely has way more strength than he thinks, as he "sheered" off one of his wheel bolts

GOOD day hanging with Luke, Jay, and Steve

Everything I need for the front suspension stuff should be ordered today..

Here's my list:
CA's
FCAB's
Tie Rods
Camber Plates
Steering Boots/Clamps
Guibo

Can anyone think of anything else I should do while I'm in there?

Mine look good right now, and can easily be changed later so I'm not going to order links right now.

As for where....
Camber Plates - Vorshlag
Control Arms/FCABs - I'm still shopping, but BW seems to have a pretty good setup at a really good price: BimmerWorld Shopping Cart
Tie-Rods - RM European(~$115 for both)
Steering Boots/Clamps - RM European
Guibo(w/nuts & bolts) - CMUZYY on Bfc(Zygmunt Motors)
