Jom coilovers in my 1992 e30 conv

Hi guys

I have a 1992 convertible. I bought this kit and had it fitted today. Im shocked to see that at its lowest setting, the car is higher than it was before i upgraded the suspension. Reappy not happy as i thought it would at least have gone down further. Can anyone tell me why this is?
Thanks

You installed wrong. Look at the pictures of the cars in this thread. Is your car that low? Then you did it wrong.

[Irry_e30]

Car is nowhere near that low. Its higher than before! What do i need to do differently?
Thanks for your reply

There is no way of telling what you did wrong unless you show us some pictures of the install. I doubt your car is so drastically different than everyone else's that it would sit higher with the kit installed correctly.

Post a picture of front strut assembly. On the rears are you using an adjuster? Remove it and just use springs. Want lower remove spring pads. If I had to guess you have the front adjuster upside down.

Will pop to the garage later and take some pics. I was gutted to see it like that!

Your not the first to inatall it wrong don't worry about it

So I was just sitting around, minding my own business, when I hear this banging at the front door. So I go to investigate the disturbance and I yell out "Who be there, banging at my door!?", and in response I hear "I be there foo!". So I open the door and there stands this strange man who drove a strange yellow van with strange red letters across the side. He then told me "I got something you've been waiting for...", and because I assumed this man was an assassin, I ran back inside to prepare for the coming battle. After a few minutes, I see that the assassin drove off but left something at my doorstep. I peeped outside and lo and behold, there was a sizable box at my doorstep. I figured it was a bomb, but being fearless in nature, I brought it inside to see if I could diffuse it, and it turned out to be a bunch of suspension components.

It took about 5 days to get here and I can't wait to get it installed.

Glad you were able to get that so fast. I get packages from Ohio ground shipping in 5 days and you got that from London in 5.

Took it to another garage today, who re did one side and it was the same result. he's on about modifying the arm and the front mounts. I thought this kit would be a straight fit on the convertible?
Well anyway, the nice chap has agreed to give me a refund on the springs, but I am down 2 times the labour cost. original springs going back in. Is my car like a really odd one out there?!

[mightywhitey]

So no pictures yet?
