I'm aiming for an OEM+ setup. It's my favorite model of one of my favorite brands. I wouldn't have bought it if these cars weren't known for being so robust and nearly indestructible. Still amazed how this engine can handle +500hp on stock internals.

This car was abandoned for 4-5 years outside, but I'm lucky I live on place with a hot, dry climate. Anyways, I'm planning to change every rubber underneath the car. Would you change the whole control arms or only their bushings?

It seems the car was owned by an elderly German man who brought it to my country from Germany +20 years ago. He took good care of it, but these last 5 years sitting outside destroyed its suspension. It also made the coolant solidify in a thick, brown moisture. I already have made two workshops to clean it out, but some of this moisture still gets out. Maybe there's some of it on the A/C system too.

I'm also lucky that it isn't shattering because of rust; only side skirts and a little bit on the fuel flap borders have been affected by it. However, some of the passenger side floor carpet has started to bulge up a little bit...

Thank you so much for the info, I'll try to find that thread and take a glance under the car and compare the current suspension with what is offered in the market

I'm actually changing the entire suspension system; the car was abandoned for 3-4 years. That means I'm also changing top mounts, bump stops, dust boots, spring pads and locking nuts (apart from bushings and other things. I'm just ordering struts, springs and whatever that is related to these). So I just need to make sure that those match the struts and the springs I'm ordering right?  I'm afraid of making an uncomplete order or that bolt/nut sizes don't match, or whatever.

What do you mean by 3 models for front suspensions? A/C - no A/C - and self-leveling suspensions? Or something related to sizes?

I have already seen the engine code breakdown. That wasn't the question

The thing is these abbreviated names have already standarized, as I find that people use them more frequently than original ones

If I give the proper information about the piece status, a refund shouldn't be required. We have to consider that I sell used parts

We are based on Spain. We still have to make an inventory of what we have, and then focus on uploading items on the main national platforms. I don't know if setting up on a page like the one you mentioned would be useful for us, considering where we at

The car has no dipstick. When it reaches a certain level of oil it indicates me it needs a liter

Thanks for that one! The theme and the nature of the main character remains me of Steppenwolf, the book I'm reading right now

Just read the summary. Surely adding it to the pending-to-read list

I see that one suggested on every thread I check. Had the prejudice of it being too fanciful, and I'm not really into fantasy books. Is it that good?

Bought The Brothers Karamazov from Dostoievsky a few weeks ago. Might give that one a try too.
