    Thank you man, I appreciate that. I went with the TC Kline in the rear because its the smallest spring for our car and better quality than the Eibach ones from GC. Ever notice how low e30's always seemed to be lower in the front? Its because GC's spring is too long so you still get that wheel gap in the rear.

    Cool thanks. Ive got the same setup as you with less chopped. I need to get some stiffer springs, currently 440, and 650. Sorry to get OT in your thread, but why do you say TCK is better quality? Thanks and glws!

          All Koni Sports are adjustable.

          Those are "compress to adjust". The holes in the dust covers are so you can push the bumpstop down, which is split, and remove it for adjustment.

          "Ever notice how low e30's always seemed to be lower in the front? Its because GC's spring is too long so you still get that wheel gap in the rear."

          Ths is not true. You can actually run a 4" tall spring in the rear. The car will lower until the adjuster on the control arm comes in contact with the subframe.

          The car in my sig is running 5" 850, 3/4 of the way down on the adjuster.

              Bump for a great suspension set up. currently running everything mentioned & on a vert it is a dream to ride..
              had a couple of friends comment when there riding with me that they dont even know they are in a lowered car because it aint bouncing everywhere on the free way.
              & when it comes to kickin the mountains ass.. it is predictable as long as the driver is as well

                            And not at all, I loved the range of height that I had with the 4'' cut
