Korman Suspension

Recommended Posts

Price: $500
Location: Fairfax, Virginia


Description:

For sale is my Korman Roadsport Suspension package.  It includes all the hardware shown in the pictures.  Please note that it DOES NOT include the 4 Bilstein HD Shocks (You can use any shocks you want).  It does include new sway bar bushings which I just purchased to include in the sale.

Ray Korman installed this kit on my 74tii during restoration.  It made the car handled much better than the stock set up.  I recently started showing my car in judged events and always lost points due to the non-stock suspension so I decided to go back to the original suspension.  I can tell the difference between the Korman set-up and stock.  I will miss the Korman suspension.

 

I called Korman to get a current price for this and was told it is no longer available.  He said they can’t get the springs anymore.  He said this was their bestselling set up. I looked for my receipt but couldn’t find it. I think I paid about $1,200.00 for the Roadsport suspension. I am asking $500.00 plus shipping.  The next available set-up is the Korman Clubsport Suspension package for $1,445.00.  This drops the car 1 ½ inches.

 

From the Korman web site for the kit I am selling:

Korman Roadsport Suspension

For all around street/highway use. Designed to be comfortable yet firmly controlled for everyday commuting and provide very substantially improved handling for winding roads and weekend club events. The Roadsport suspension is our biggest selling kit. It includes: 4 stronger 1/2" lower springs, 4 Bilstein HD Shock Absorbers, 1 set 22 front and 19 adjustable rear sway bars, with mounting hardware, polyurethane bushings and the special polyurethane bushing lube.

I’m sure you don’t want to but if you decide to split it up I’d be interested in the sway bars. Txs

Thanks John but I need to keep it as a complete set.

I'm interested if you can confirm that it clears an M2 swapped 02?

 

Sorry.  I have no way of confirming that.

Mike, how many miles did you put on these parts?  How much would the new bushings be and where would you get them?

Steve...there is less then 400 miles on the set.  You can get the bushings from Korman.  I put the web site and part numbers in the ad above.  I am not sure how much they cost but it cant be much.  You can give them a call and ask.  They are great people and very helpful.

I had to take them off another 74tii.  I bought several sets before I found 4 good ones.  I never found any in the after market.

Good luck with your search.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
