        I wasnt refering to how stiff the car is, Im refering to the improvement in handling. Im not talking in a literal sense either, I just didnt want the future buyer to think he wasnt going to see any gains in handling, response, or decrease in body roll. This kit will give you all three things, only not to the extent that a stiffer, more racing oriented kit would give. This is a kit for the street, and hasnt been advertised any differently.

        The kit is still for sale. Lets makes something happen.

          Yeah, I didn't want to discredit this kit as its great for a lot of people. It's a good deal on a great looking and handling street spring and shock kit. Good luck with the sale Fielding.

              Same thing with me... it does slam the shit out of an e30 and will handle better than stock... and absolutely worth $550 shipped.....

                    FWIW, I ran 2 seasons of autocross with my cup kit, and the suspension was definitely not the thing holding the car back.

                        I was looking for the pics of your body roll but they are all down.

                            I dont understand the preoccupation with body roll, it honestly is not that big of deal except for pictures. My times almost always suggested the car was performing better than the OMG 2 MUCH BODY ROLLZ crowd seemed to think....


                            anyways.

                              Word. I think there are very few drivers on this board that would be held back by the cupkit. Rob is right; body roll isn't that big of deal - tires make a way bigger diff in auto-xing. I have bilsteins and sport springs and get dominated by other 318s with stock suspension...

                              FWIW, this is a great kit. Very comfortable on the road and MUCH MUCH better than stock. Worth the asking price definitely.

                                the driver. Few people's egos will allow them to admit that though.
