Thanks, I have not raised parts issues with SPF lately, be it with Lance or Jimmy, but in the past 10+ years SPF would not sell any parts locally unless you have a SPF and then those parts would come back from USA!

As for BDR, I can't use any BMW parts on my chassis. Even if, there is a shortage of E36 parts.

I built 4 cars over as many years, which is pathetic considering that only about 250 manhours go into each car, from laying the main chassis rails on the welding table.

There are a few more local race car fabricators, but too expensive. Typical response: "How many hundred do you need?" If I needed hundreds, I could open my own factory...

Importing is faster, cheaper, simpler. North Carolina is my preferred source :-)

What I am looking for are control arms with similar dimensions as the original ones for the front (FFR upper looks promising), and something similar to what SPF is using on the rear. I cannot deviate much from the length of the control arms, but on the width by moving the brackets on the chassis.

The rear lower arrangement from the 427 is outdated since tires have improved. Caster and toe changes are not required that much anymore as they were for the 205/15 tires on the street version. The rear suspension won't move much anyway with a stiff spring.

Better even, using OEM parts. But which car has double wishbone suspension these days, except some exotic builds?
