    I'm not worried about a harsh ride, but I am worried about the overal quality of the combo. From the looks of Edwin's car, that height is perfect.
    My front Bilsteins were not revalved, I manage to not bottom out either but I will probably upgrade to KONI yellows.


    Nigel says you are running IE (Ireland Engineering) Race plates. I see multiple options on IE website, which particular one do you have on your car?

    Thanks.
    I called and asked for the "race" and had them shipped. No more infoe sorry.

      I'm currently seeking out a different manufacturer. They have messed up every order. I can't run a business if my suppliers can't provide me with what i requested.

        IE only sells one set for 2.5" springs. The other race set(spec e30) is for stock diameter springs

          Just installed these on my car too. A great addition to the ge coilovers. Speaking of which i am very hapy with these coil overs.

                  Here are some pics, please forgive the crappy quality. Pic of the car is the only one i have right now. It is adjusted up quite high as the low look isn't what I'm after. Can definitely tuck tire if that is what you are looking for. Coming from h&r sports I'm amazed at how this kit feels for daily driving and canyon carving. Took some comparison pics of the stock strut mount compared to the ie race plates. Forgot to include the spring hat though, but you get the idea.

                    Thanks for the pics. In the future i'll offer a 5" and a 6" for people with and without camber plates.

                          Thanks Tinker, that is exactly what I am after. Great pictures. What did you use (cutting discs etc,) the cut the flanges?

                            Yes cutting wheel on a dewalt electrical grinder. It is super easy just take your time and make gradual cuts all the way around just above the weld.

                              I'm really happy Blsteins. If you want some hypercoils springs I can give you a great price. Their 60mm springs work great with my front adjusters and my old style top hats.

                              I like using a sawzall. Very easy to cut uniform straight line.

                                I offer sectioning for $75. I use a pipe cutter instead of a saw to get a straighter cut. I also made an aluminum insert that is the exact diameter of the inside of the tube to weld the two pieces back together perfectly straight. It also eliminates the chance of weld penetrating through and making it hard to install the strut insert. I will also be offering m3 style sway links for slammed cars. Aluminum shafts and nuts for reduced unsprung weight. They will allow you to have your sway bar in correct geometry no matter how low you dump your car. They will be fully adjustable to eliminate pre-load.
                                How can I arrange this with you. I dont have the tools and I dont even think the know how to do my own strut housing alterations.
