Swapped out my load levelers for a set of coilovers.

A couple of years ago I rebuilt my rear suspension. I sent the A arms off to Dave Helms and he did an outstanding job. He replaced the bushings, powder coated the spreader plates and cad plated the actual arms them selves. Along with new rubber inboard bushings I also replaced all of the outboard steel bushings (as a side note I had to replace mine because they had been dry for quite a while, so be sure to check yours as the parts are big $). I also sent my shocks and load levelers off to be rebuilt. The car drove great but the load levelers eventually went kaput and the back of the car was down in the weeds. Rather than screwing with the load levelers anymore I ordered a set of the coilovers. All I can say is I should have done this the first time around. The car drives really nice with these in place.

PS, the swap was extremely easy. Took longer to jack the car up than it took to do the swap.

 

Here are some pictures. Please remember my car is the older 365 so it never had the hudraulic system. I got them from T Rutlands and their web site lists them for 400i. When I talked to them on the phone the issue of hydraulic system never came up but I think they must have a plan for converting to these units on a 400i.
