These are the strut inserts I bought.

Re: Air Conditioning Diagram/Supplement?
Thanks, Robert. Maybe this should be posted somewhere here, like as a FAQ.

Steering and Suspension Update
I installed (40mm) H&R lowering springs, the Bilstein Touring Front struts, and Ireland Engineering front and rear sway bars. After initially experiencing some "notable" oversteer, loosening the rear bars changed the car's steering and really turned it into a fun drive. Much more neutr...

Air Conditioning Diagram/Supplement?
Does anyone know where there is an electrical diagram of the air conditioning system BMW USA added onto the E12's? The reconditioned compressor works fine, when on an external power supply, but I don't know at all how to hook it up to the wiring. I should have been much more careful, when I removed ...

Re: E28 M30 motor
I think it made perhaps 8 bhp more than the 530i 3.0 liter.

Re: E28 M30 motor
If this is a US 2.8 motor, it should have slightly higher compression (9.3:1) than the 3.0 (8:1).

Re: Questions and Issues: Steering and Top End
Thanks, Mike. I have a feeling its an alignment issue.
I'll head over there and see what I can see on the valve issue. Never thought about adjusting at the cam. I don't immediately understand how you'd do that. So, I'll read up on mye28.

Re: Questions and Issues: Steering and Top End
HB528i... The shop that installed the sway bars, springs, and all SHOULD have checked the tie rod ends and control arm ball joints. I asked them to. That doesn't mean they did and I am not knowledgeable enough to do it myself. I have to take it back in to install the rebuilt compressor I got from Ch...

Questions and Issues: Steering and Top End
First, I have an issue with my steering I'd like some input on. I added Bilsteins, H&R lowering springs, and Ireland sway bars from and rear. The car feels much better in most situations, but there is one thing I have an issue with. When I turn the wheel, especially in tighter corners it seems, ...

Re: Replacement A/C Compressor
FYI: Mesa no longer offers the SD508 or the mounting kit. They also lost their rebuilder, though looking for another. Had no suggestions for me.
EDIT: Jim at Mesa has a mounting kit for the SD508.
