Thanks to everyone that has sent in their payments. The group buy is now closed. As I'm sure knows by now, we did not make our minimum of 15 sets. The order for the GC parts and Koni shocks will go out first thing tomorrow.

Rather than emailing everyone seperately, I would greatly apreciate it if everyone that made a purchase would send an email to sales(at)c3motorsport.com and provide the following information:

1. First and Last name
2. Shipping Address
3. Primary phone number
4. Alternate phone number
5. Paypal address
6. Best time to be reached
7. Your e30's year and model
8. Your screen name on the board

This way I can make sure the invoices are accurate and I will also have a backup of your information to prevent delays.

Again, thank you to everyone that has participated. I will send out updates via email once I have received everything from the manufacturers. As I stated before, we are looking at about 1 week to receive everything from the manufacturers.

I'm back on board for a full set of the Konis. What are the Koni part numbers for these any way? Are the fronts the 1210 Sports and the rears the 2641 Sports?

[tonytony]

closing date is the 9th, when should we expect to recieve these?

I dont think GC will sell you a set for the iX. That doesn't mean it can't be done. They just dont want to warranty it for that application. What modifications or special parts you;d need, I don't know.

With regards to the 325ix question, GC does not offer any coilover solutions for the 325ix. From what I understand, the designing of a system for that car has been attempted and the designs played with, however no good solution has been found. The rear set up is not difficult considering the design in the rear doesn't differ much from a standard e30, however the front design is where all of the problems have been encountered.

are you sure? I know of at least one person who is running GC on their ix rally car..

really want to get a price on the short bodies.... also want to get the camber plates.... just tell me who you were talking to and i will give them a call and get a price if i have to.

[tonytony]

i heard people just unbolt and compressing it, then twisting while it's still bolted to the RSM.

could we pay extra to have adjustable rears?

The rears ARE adjustable...but you have to remove them from the car to adjust them. The are not externally adjustable, meaning you cannot adjust them while they are on the car. There is nothing that I, nor Koni, can do about this shy of completely redesigning the shock.

ok-- so if i need to adjst i would have to do this everytime --?
2 questions:
1. what is the default setting?
2. can i just specify that i have IE stage 3's and have it valved from koni and be done ?

Yes, you need to need to remove the shock from the car to make the adjustments.

1. The default setting is the softest setting. If you require a firmer ride, you can rotate the adjuster as needed to firm up the damping.

2. The available settings on the Koni dampers are more than sufficient to cover the spring rates of the IE Stage 3s. There is no need for revalving.

**Clarification on some information**
I have learned the standard Konis are able to handle spring rates up to 650# per inch without custom valving. For those purchasing Konis and a coilover setup with springs over 650#s, the revalving is included. For spring rates 650# and less, the shocks are DYNO tuned to match the selected spring rated.

For those wanting the pre-dyno tuned shocks (to match your existing springs: i.e. IE Stage 3s, H&R Sports, Eibach Pro-Kits, etc..) I have inquired for the GC rate to dyno tune. However to save everyone here the time/money, I would recommend a couple of trial runs after installing your car to adjust to your liking.

With regards to the 325ix question, GC does not offer any coilover solutions for the 325ix. From what I understand, the designing of a system for that car has been attempted and the designs played with, however no good solution has been found. The rear set up is not difficult considering the design in the rear doesn't differ much from a standard e30, however the front design is where all of the problems have been encountered. Again, if you require shocks to match with springs over 650# per inch, I've inquired about the rate for custom valving. Please PM if you will require this, otherwise adjusting the standard Konis on the car will save you a lot of time and money.

I apologize for the confusion. Happy to answer any other questions as they arise.
