GB: Koni Single Adjustables & Ground Control

[e30evolution]

i talked to GC and the short body's that they are selling are ~2.5" shorter... at least that is what their rep said

[ACHTUNG]

You might get a few more people on board if you advertise over on e30tech.com

Edit: nevermind. Just noticed it's already over there.

Paypal on the waypal. I didn't even see the buy thread till today sorry, I just look at subscribed threads. The thread for the actual buy info is here http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=60223

In order to use these you will need to make a set of bushings/spacers to fit in the bottom of the strut tube to make them useable.

Actually, I ordered a set from GC a month ago and they came with the correct spacers to make the shock fit a stock strut. Probably a good idea to double-check when ordering though.

Im might be in for a full set but probably not. I was watching some koni fronts on ebay that were new but had been opened and i thought they would go for cheap but they went for 265+15 shipping. I've also been offered some bilsteins with 10k for 250

hey are the rears top adjustable?

All of these shocks are supposed to be top adjustable. I will double check the ones on my car tomorrow and will report back.

A side note on the short-body GC shocks, I just received a set of these with my coilovers and the part number on them is actually for a VW Corrado (re-valved). The tube has the same dimensions, but is approx. 4" shorter than the standard e30 shocks. In order to use these you will need to make a set of bushings/spacers to fit in the bottom of the strut tube to make them useable. I do not advise cutting the strut tubes shorter for use on street vehicles...for more info, check here:

FYI: Check the GB section to see if your name is on the list, if not PM me with your specific needs. I'm currently working with two of you to try and get a complete set together (1 person for fronts and 1 for rears = 1 set). Those two have not yet shown up on the list until we get everything straightened out. Your name does not go on the confirmed list until I receive your payment.

**Also, upon checking with my distributor, I just need a minimum of 15 full sets of shocks (Koni) in order to get the discounted pricing. If you have another car that you need shocks for, let me know. I now have the full app guide and price sheet at my disposal. We'll be able to work something out.

We're close guys...let's get this done!
