I just got the Eibach Pro System Plus for my RD1. Everything is done except for the front sway bar. It isgonna be a b**** to get on.

All in all it cost me $1400 and a case of beer.

canadian dollars.

cotton, its all about getting the thing at the right angle. keep turning that thing until you get it out in. i did have to remove two long bolt and one big nut to drop the control arms a little bit. then i just kept angling the front one until it came out, didnt have to pry on the tranny at all.

getting the bigger new one in was a bit hard. remember, the end with more bends is for the tranny side. again, i didnt have to pry the tranny at all, but i did bang the eibach bar into place with the old stock rear bar. laugh.gif it was getting stuck just a little on the tranny. couple quick hits dropped it right in to place though. glad im not worried about scratches on that thing though. wink1.gif

oh yeah, be mindful of wires too. i almost ripped right through some.

I just bought these off of eBay. Side Markers for the Alfa Romeo 156. Yes, I know I have side markers for the E46 BMW on my car already, but I have not been totally happy with them.

First off, I had to take them apart to black them out.

Second, even blacked out, the light gray gasket is still visible..

These are coming to me smoked, they are just going to wait until I buy the C/F fenders from Blacktibs.




And the BMW markers on the car... I think the alfa will look better:


Someday I will get into some serious engine and suspension work... after the car's body is fixed and painted.

lol

actually... free...

i do my own polishing...

the tranny is just painted though.. and the runners on the intake manifold..

Everything else is polished... i spent so much time on polishing that you can easily use the manifold as a mirror...
