Re: Rear suspension camber

I have the eccentric bushes from Powerflex.
When/if you order them make sure you state you want the adjustment spanner as mine came without one.
Go purple for a more standard/fast road feel or black for very stiff track use.
You can do the same thing with weld in plates but I am not a fan of them.

Re: Z3 2.8 Rear end conversion, reducing 2.8 width to 1.9 sp

Which side?
I may have a 2.8 trailing arm if you want one.

The way to tell is to look at the carrier/hub section and look at the lower damper mount.
If it is 1.9 it will look considerably shorter than the other side,if that one is in fact 2.8.

Re: Headlights.

You can reuse your pre facelift internal side lights on the later lights if you want by removing the mounded plastic inserts in the back of the units.Then your original bulb holders will twist fit in the holes.

Yes I guess so, I have loads of it. I just thought I'd ask to see if anyone knew what BMW used and put back what was original.To be honest I was a bit surprised to see it coming out of the arm when I pulled the plug out and the reason for it being there.

Would anyone happen to know what grade of oil BMW originally used inside the trailing arms and what amounts they used?
I can't find it in Bentleys or online.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
