        wish they would have taken my word for the core return instead of $300+$120, i would have. :(

        damn you previous [dishonest] customers!

        PS: Thanks for the plate frame and stickers, now I can properly represent my home state!

                        I think you may have misunderstood his question. These are not the same as e36 front coils. They won't work with e36 knuckles bc they are a completely different design. An e36 has a strut housing that bolts onto the knuckle/spindle. These e30 ones must be welded to your e30 knuckle/spindle. These rear coilovers will work without an issue. For the front coils I'd imagine you can use an existing e36 coilover setup (ex CAT, BC, Broadway Static, Raceland, etc) and change your strut tops to e30 ones. You're issue now is going to be buying half of a coilover setup from each company.

                          Correct, my apologies between this and the axle thread i forgot what i was responding to. Ive had questions on the ti/5 lug and the hd axles so all i was thinking was rear end. Im well aware of the differences, i hate to admit it sometimes but i daily drive a 95 ti :)

                          I will find out, i believe we can work out something as we do have coils for both cars.

                          Thanks bud for helping clear up my stupid answer.

                            All tracking sent, if i missed you please let me know. Also if youre getting welded might be an extra day or two before you see it moving. All the regular orders will be out the door by tomorrow.

                              Just some quick install notes.

                              Don't adjust the front spring tension. It should be lose enough so the spring still can rotate in the housing. When lowering or raising it's done by loosening the lower lock nut, then rotating the entire spring/shock into the lower housing (part that's welded to the knuckle)

                              For the rear (non true type) you want to set the spring pre load correctly. Basicslly set the spring to the height you want using the adjuster or if your not using it at all, however low you want it (yes you can ditch the oem pads) once you are comfortable with ride height you want to have the car in the air losen the lock nut on the shock and then remove the lower shock bolt (have something supporting the arm as it will drop) now jack up the arm so that the spring is just under slight tension, basicslly so it dosnt have room to move around but you can still rotate it fairly easily. Then thread the shock into the body and bolt it back up. The rear preload is now set, this will ensure even at full droop the spring remains in place.

                                No worries, I'm sure you know what you're talking about. Especially if you're actively selling it to the public ;)
