    Junkyard. SEriously. Look for an E36 Convertible with either no damage or a rear impact. I got mine for $30 and a quick cleaning and some spray paint to make it look pretty and I was done. Picked up some new bolts and it fits perfect. It is not a wear item so a junkyard part is fine, just make sure it wasn't bent in an accident

    Wish I could do the same. I went to all the local junkyards, and nobody had any e36 at all . I guess thats what I get for living in a redneck area where everyone drives Chevy or Ford .

    KO Performance should still have it going on. It's in the vendor group buy section.

    It was $99 plus shipping last i saw.

    Got mine a while back but still havn't been able to put in on cause of the crazy weather around here.
    It was raining for 30+ days straight and now it's freezing outside.

    What is everyones opinion of it? Anyone have it on a completely stock suspension car that is used as a daily driver? I doubt I'll be tracking my car in the near future, so I'm curious about how noticeable the performance increase is, thanks!

    it tightens up the front end significantly, regardless of suspension setup.

    it really does tighten the front end up you can tell just by going over speed bumps the car creaks less
