Bimmerworld builds some of the fastest E36 ITS cars on the planet. Ask for James Clay.

Ground Control has everything you need. Their advanced design shocks are awesome.

I have used GC on VW race cars in the past and had good luck, I like the shocks but did not know if they were the hot ticket for BMWs
who makes good bars for these cars and is it legal to use the M3 style front strut that the bar mounts to?

Ditto on talk to James Clay. He will sell you what you need.

No, but you can weld the little tabs on to the 325i struts and use the M3 style bar. Ground Control sells the mounting tabs

actually, if you go ground control, they sell a new strut housing which is cut down to fit the a/d dampers. it already has the sway bar tab on it. gc also sells a hollow front sway bar. call james at bimmerworld or chuck at cssmotorsports. either one of them can sell you the entire gc/ad kit which includes all the bearings, bushings, dampers, struts, sway bar, adjustable mounts, etc. just check the "i want it all" box on the order form... http://Forum.ImprovedTouring.com/it/smile.gif

be aware though if you need it soon, there is a month or so wait currently to get the parts.
