W2Trade: E30M3 Ground Control Coilover Setup

[D-rock]

This^ stock suspension will be crap. My brother went softer springs on his vert, it is amazing.

+1 you'll regret it also you can dial down the shows as well.

All I know is the spring rates are 450 front and 600 or 650 rear. Do you have any specific questions?

I bought Greg Strube's car.

ON EDIT: Chuck to the rescue above.

Damm the wheels are amazing!

You already have an amazing suspension just ask ground control for a softer set of springs.

I have Bilstiens and HR sports with about 5000 miles great shape.

Does anyone know if the added weight of the S54 will have any effect on the Bilstein Sport + H&R setup?

I would of been interested, but I dont think I would of enjoyed the ride as they were intended for track use. Hope everything works out :)

GC told me unless you have perfect roads, serious about racing, or value your cars aesthetic stance more than anything else then this setup is not for you.

Update: Trade PENDING - Two in line.

GC setup only has 4,000 miles on it and front struts are new.

tempting... i have a compete stock e30 m3 suspension.

[Dariotexas]

So Chuck spoke with GC and they remember doing all the work on my setup from the previous owner.

It is a very aggressive setup made for race & track use ... Lots of adjustability and no matter what he has me swap out he did not think it will ever reach the comfort level that I'm looking for or be similar to Bilstein Sport + H&R ... I'm back open for trades and to be clear I'm looking for the full E30 M3 setup - that includes front housings.

Once I get back in front of a computer I can reply to all the inquiries.

THANKS!

It is possible to use softer springs, how ever, if the roads are less than smooth the dampers will in fairly short order, get blown out due to the suspension running out of travel.
The suspension has been shortened for decreased ride height and suspension travel.
For comfort, suspension travel is the key.
I've been there and done that.

Though what you're saying is correct, I doubt he will run into this type of trouble considering he wants to raise the car!

I would also just get softer spring rates from GC. If you're looking for a ride quality similar to H&R Sports, their spring rates are 180lbs Front / 380lbs Rear.

ill swap with you if you really wanted too

You cannot swap suspension on an e30 m3. PM me for my address so you can ship me the car. I will pay half.

That is why you should shorten the housing to gain back the some shock travels. Have you ever done that? What shock brand did you use?
GC will include the revalved Koni's to work with the coilovers as well.
