^that looks great man!
Cant wait to get mine together this week, it should sit real similar to yours except I'm running the shorter ix shocks.

Heres another shot of mine with GE coil setup - details back a page

These are a sleeves and springs only. You would need to purchase shocks and struts if your car dos not already have good ones. Spring rates are locked at 450f 650r unless you want to use a different spring in the Hypercoil catalog. JOMs are mainly for looks. These are intended more for performance then stance.

Hey I'm interested but I'm not to sure what spring rates I should get
I own a 1991 318i vert and might plan on either doing an m30 or s14 swap in the future
I want something pretty stiff but still comfortable after all it's still my daily driver. I'm also not sure about how this setup works is it the full suspension setup is it just a spring and collars so u still need to buy struts. Still confused. And how do these compare to the JOM setup cuz I was also thinking about thoes because I believe thoes are a full setup.
Thanks in advance

thats great to hear, sounds like this will be a perfect setup for me...now i just need my bonus!

Forgot to add that I have the sleeves reversed also and adjusters spun all the way down and locked.

Get me two quick!

Thats for m3
M3 and 325i are different in the front due to the end links. They mount in different places
Hahah so use me not travis

Im running 205/40 17 and front fender opening to ground is 22.75" at the center of the wheel. Running the 6" spring, IE plates, and no cut housings with standard Billie sports. Great ride and great height.

Yes. That's why I offer them. Lol

Forgot to get the boots from you.
Need 2 sets. Next time....

[einstein57]

Yes. That's why I offer them. Lol

[graphikg]

Experimented with the kit... We are going to need your dust boots huh? The 2.5in springs dont even fit over the stock bilstein boots. Are yours small enough to go between the springs and the insert?

[einstein57]

The drop looks great. Would you say that the ride is better because the springs are actually doing a better job than IE's, or simply because they're stiffer and you're not hitting the bumpstops anymore?

I'm running jstock springs with revalved bilstiens currently and I can't decide whether I should try the IE's or these linear GE's. I'm looking for a little more comfort than the jstocks provide without losing much in terms of performance.

I think the linear springs just feel smother because you don't get that sudden jolt that the race springs give you. Not sure if that jolt was caused by bump stops or the sudden progression of the spring rate. Either way I still liked the h&r races I daily drove for 4 years. But I love the coils even more. Running 400f 650r on the vert and it feels awesome.

DUDE Im such a retard! I meant 6"

and yeah IDK why I forgot to mention im running a 318is with and actual m42!


P.S. I fixed my previous post. the rears are 4.5" right Nigel?

He He..thats Ok. Sometimes you just need a break from being a genius all the time. I get it..
yes, rears are 4.5" with piggy tail on top end.

[PNWDan]

so from the pics above, if i wanna tuck tire on 17's, i need to cut out the perch and put a new weld in lower? looks like i wont be able to tuck if i cut out the stock perch..correct?

i plan to run the same setup, bilsteins/camber plates

Heres a quick nasty overexposed cell phone shot I took today (ill get some more on the weekend when i can get a proper camera...)



Ride is wayyyyyyy better than my IE stg3/billy sport combo, that was hitting bumpstops all the time, stiffer setup and trimmed bumpstops make this sooooo much more comfortable even at lower ride height :)

Quality product and I might have a few more orders to Australia coming up for you Nigel ;)
