Source for adjustable rear bushings?


#1

Getting down to crunch time and it seems that the KMAC’s aren’t around anymore. (although I haven’t had time to call around).

What are people running for an adjustable rear bushing? I found a place called Bavarian Autosport that seems to have all the stuff, but I would like to know if anyone has experience with their stuff. The suspension work is being done next week and the cage the following week so I don’t have time to mess around.

Any advice, sources, etc. are much appreciated.

The stuff I bought is well made and they have good service. Did not buy the TA bushings though.
BavAuto seems to me to be more of a street tuner place than a race shop. They have been around a long time though. I only ever bought a hat, jacket and a long time ago some ignition wires from them.

I have bought a lot of maintenance parts for my cars at BavAuto. They are reliable But, I agree they are less of a race shop and more an everyday street shop.

Ditto, although I did buy poly control arm bushings from them. Very nice pieces. Usually street stuff from them though. Good prices, fast shipping.

Bought my stuff from them. Pretty reasonably IMHO. $170 for the adjustable rears. BavAuto wanted $270. I ended up buying the fronts in both centered and offset so that the shop could decide. Centered $40, offset $60. I also "sprung" for their spherical-bearing upper-shock mount for $150. $70 for the sub-frame bushings.

As an aside, the guy has some AWESOME conversions his site. V12 in and E36, 4.4 V8 in an E30, and a couple others.
