Convertiblau! My 1996 BMW 328iC

[Jake]

Suspension is all swapped! I called H&R and gave the nice lady the part number form the front springs. She told me their original fitment was for a 1992-1999 325i/328i, which meant I could use my stock top hats to replace the busted ones. Yay.

Rented a spring compressor from AutoZone and did some work. I still swear by my electric impact being the best Christmas gift I've ever received. It made really quick work of swapping top hats and brought back memories of working on David L's WRX (or STI? Dunno which) in Pheasant Run, compressing springs with a rented compressor and hand tools. How far we've come.

Also did the front brakes as all of those parts were the correct fitment. Still need to bug RockAuto about things being wrong for the rear. Probably do that today.
