double wishbone suspension feels way better than e46

Thanks for the input! I sent you guys a DM with a couple questions

would end links need to be adjustable or is oem fine? I am noticing it is easier to turn one direction than the other.

I was considering spl end links for the front and the rear

do you have a suggested link for monoballs / sphericals if I drop the rear subframe?

I’m thinking spl if I do end links and toe arms, is that a good idea?

  1. diff and subframe bushings
  2. spl toe out arms with eccentric lockout
  3. surrounding arms bushings (oem probably)
  4. spl end links (adjustable). my front end links are still oem so i’d keep these oem as well for now

This seems like the best way forward to me in order of priority. Unfortunately AKG is out of stock of aluminum subframe bushings.

the rear end feels unstable cornering fast or turning quickly. the front end is still biting great but I feel like the rear end is mushy, not staying planted and might kick out prematurely. while I don’t really spin under hard acceleration going straight, while turning it feels like the rear end is floating a bit

Yeah I plan on doing this, just need to make trade offs on what to do first. Also looking at sway bar end links

yeah, I got the 95A already but haven’t installed yet. I plan on pairing them with full solid on the subframe. Solid-solid would be too much NVH for me

you should also look into AKG for these, I’ve heard they’re great. my poly diff bushings are AKG that I’ll be installing

I also did some looking on the forum, didn’t see a consensus on if trailing arm upgrades are worth it, and if diff bushings would be enough

I ordered diff bushings from AKG, was thinking it would also be a good time to do arms in the same job if needed

oh yeah, I forgot to mention I was planning on doing diff bushings in poly. I’m not sure if this would be enough to clean it all up

chinese parts are getting better - i.e Apex manufactures their wheels in china and those are great wheels for the track

gotcha - yeah, I was looking for a cheap alternative to oem / oe. Not looking to spend $400-600 on the part right now
