OT, but RGCinthe29073, what'd you use to paint your bottlecaps? I love them.

Im pretty sure it was this stuff...

I would say you received some defective rear springs...

Thats what i was thinkn. Maybe we can get some more installed rear spring pics from a few other people.

I don't think there is really a time cap on how long these will last. They are coming from http://www.veedubmachine.co.uk/

I'll try to snap some of my early coupe when I get home from work. It's damn low in the front (cut perches, all the way down), the rear (no adjusters) is a tad higher than I wanted, but I think it gave it a nice raked look.

If it stops raining here (SWFL), I'll try and get some updated shots of mine. It ended up going lower than the last pics I posted up on here. Plus with the Euro grills and iS lip, it really compliments the car.

Here's what mine looks like...



There is almost nothing in the trunk, just the spare and some small odds and ends.

Here's a shot of the whole car, it needs washed badly...

I'm confirming that the rear springs are not as advertised by these pictures. Those are WAY to soft and far too bound up to be effective.

Has anyone had the rates tested yet? I'm not bottoming them out, that I can feel. Could the center section be sleeper coils?? The very top and bottom part of the coil is evenly spaced on my car. FYI, I ordered the Coupe set.

hmm, thats kinda weird. I haven't checked what my springs look like yet on my rears.. (vert) I'll grab some pics this weekend

[ck_taft325is]

'eh, worst comes to worst, just replace the rears with Eibach's and you're golden. That's what I did just to get the early fender arches to sit a bit more.

Still a steal but I didn't and still don't like how the rears (and the rears only as my fronts are still perfect) sat/bind. They very well could be sleeper coils. Just strikes me as odd having the main center 3 coils stacked on each another.

I received mine tuesday. i ordered them Friday so shipping was crazy fast. i hope to install this weekend. I measured mu strut inserts and they are 43.8mm Is this correct for my 85 325e? Just checking cause I would hate to take apart only to find the inserts are too small

My rear springs look identical to that, 3 coils together in the center??

I'm pretty sure the early 318i models are the only ones with small diameter strut housings.

Ordered mine Monday. Shipped Tuesday. Received them today. Install tomorrow!!!

So quick and stupid question. Obviously these allow you to lower the car, but when these are installed, they can be put to close to stock height? I tried finding the answer in the original GB post but only saw lowered cars. Not saying that I wouldn't lower it, just be nice to have it at the stock level when needed.
