ordered last week and got it here on friday! Very quick shipping! Though the paint on the shocks is all scratched up, they got a rough ride during shipping, so much so that there are several holes on the side of the box cause by the shocks bouncing around... But as long as nothing is structurally damaged i don't give a sh** tbh :P. We'll see.

Service was great and customs only cost 50$ which is reasonable to canada. Ill write up once I get them on tomorrow!

Got my rears on! Didnt have time to do the fronts so the car looks a little funny. These things seem nice thoguh, cant wait to get it done!

Install was pretty straight forward. Did not need a spring compressor or anything. Forgot to order new strut mounts so had to run out and get them.

Just Ordered mine this morning. cant wait

Just got them installed by my BMW specialist and it did not drop one inch in front?! It is even higher than stock and the rear is pretty much the same as stock... What could be the cause of this? the adjusters are down all the way. My car is a 1991 318is. Thanks for any input

Something must be wrong. Post pictures of the front strut assembly and how it was installed. If you look at the pictures when installed correctly it is a significant drop. The rears just remove the rear adjuster and run springs only, for even lower you can remove the rear spring pads, or run lower springs.

Do the rear spring adjusters go on the top or bottom?

[CHIF8008]

bottom my friend. but please don't use them. your rear will be extra high, even when spun all the way down. so running no adjuster in the rear will get you lower

I actually installed mine on the top so they could be adjusted easier. Was hesitant to do it at first but after looking at it, it really doesn't make a difference because of the way the springs are designed. it's actually pretty cool. Mine is pretty low with the adjusters in it now (all the way down). Im no expert on suspension by ANY means but have done a lot of dropping/lowering and this seems to be a nice set up so far! At least on the rear...havent got to the front yet.

For those of you running no spring pads, do you notice a lot of noise due to the lack of a "bumper"?

Some pics, haven't settled yet obviously, still need to drive on them a bit:

I have them installed on the bottem and sit just as low as the billysports with eibachs did.

My order shipped out on Monday and they were delivered today but nobody was home.... Im picking them shits up tomorrow. I know stuff inside the states take longer than that. I'm stoked

[e30BMart]

never-mind everything is fine now I can drop to the ground. great handling, I'm amazed you can get this ride quality for this price! definitely recommend these to anyone looking to lower their stock ride adding handling but without compromising too much comfort. great product so far and great service from Les, too. Thanks guys!

i have been driving around the Northern VA/DC area for the past two days and they are very comfortable considering they are a vert kit on a sedan. pretty impressed so far. I will have to take pictures tomorrow.
