well today i brought my max in to be looked at i was thinking of doing a 2 inch drop then it was brought to my attention that i need
LF CV AXLE
FRONT SWAY BAR (BOTH SIDES)
RF CONTROLE ARM
cost me in the are of 500
i need struts and spings too
ive got about $2000 into a 1500$ car ? is it worth it ?

 

Mileage?
Condition?
Is it worth it to you?
Can you afford a new car?

Just some factors/things to think about.

 

For now I'd just do the CV axle, especially if it has started clicking. I'd put off the other repairs until you have the cash to do them. I need a new control arm too, but so long as your steering isn't too much out of alignment you'll be fine.

 

my max has been gone for 5 mins now i miss it soo much all the work is getting done rite now

 

You could have saved a ton by doing it yourself

 

a buddy of mine is doing it hes a certified bmw mechanic and hes givimg me a great deal

 

Do the labor yourself... Everything you need to do it is right in the stickies. Who pay's for labor these day's? Maintance over mod's first remember that

 

Wow...I should learn all this ****...well I need to do a couple of things to my max...while the thread is up....gotta redo power steering (dad said junyard was good for one, now its eating up belts), clutch slave cylinder, left axle, battery cables...that's all I remember...

 

doing it yourself requiers time and tools wich i have neither

this week im ordering my kyb shocks and struts and tein springs ..!!
2.2in (56mm) drop in the front and 1.8in (45mm) in the rear ec


very excited ..!!

 

Buy yourself a basic ratchet set at walmart for starters...80 bucks and itll pay for itself in a few months when you save 1000 in labor...just think of this...the money you save in labor costs can go to new mods....

 

i have a rachett set i dont have impact tools ramps stands and a jack
i have tons of tools .. the kind i work on my house with not my car

im second guessing the tein springs mabey K sport

k sport are
FRONT DROP: 2.2"
REAR DROP: 2.0"

tein are
2.2in (56mm) drop in the front
1.8in (45mm) in the rear

 

The teins are soft and the ksports are stiff.

 

im gonna go with the teins everyone ive talked to says there a great ride
i cant wait to dump this piggy on its face
on 350 Z's my brother inlaw owns a rims shop keeps telling me to get rims i like the 350s they give it a mean look
