    I'm for sure interested if there is going to be a price break.

    There are different Koni SA's available for each of the different models. If you have an M3, specify that and you will receive revalved e30 M3 Konis. If you are driving a 325i/is and you want the e30 M3 Konis, you can specify that, however it really won't make much of a difference as they are interchangable and GC re-valves them for the chosen spring rate. It wouldn't matter which part # you started with, as they would end up valved the same.

    The rear end of the kit is a very straight forwad install and the components swap directly with factory components. The only major different in the rear shock mounts is that the mount with the bolts pointing downward rather than upward and they have a support piece that sandwiches that portion of the body to strengthen it.

    The front does involve some modification to the strut assembly. The lower perches need to be cut off and the new lower perch for the 2.5" ID springs must be welded in place. If you are buying the kit that comes with the camber/caster plates, the plate replaces the factory strut bearing and has a built in upper retainer for the spring. If you order the short-body Konis, you will need to further shorten the strut tube for increased shock travel. It is highly recommended that you find a (perforance/race not repair) shop to do this for you if you do not know what you are doing.

    As far as I know, yes.

    What is the timeframe on this GB?
    If I were to purchase the full coil over kit, are they direct fit or do I need any modifications?

    I need to have my front struts sent to G-C to be modified and have some of their shortened Koni's put in the tubes. Any GB / discount there? :)

    Also, I'm working on some Ground Control items. Here are some current prices on these items:

    1. Complete e30 Coilover Kit (Includes shocks, choice of springs, adjusters, camber/caster plates & RSMs): $1,350 plus shipping (MSRP $1,599.00)

    2. Coilovers (choice of springs): $350 plus shipping (MSRP $399.00)

    3. Camber/Caster Plates: $260 (MSRP $299.00)
