      Superior. The only part that the C3Motorsport kit shares with GC are the Eibach ERS springs. Also, the top-adjustable rear Konis arent even available from GC, as well as many other parts as they are constantly out of stock @ GC.

            How long is this GB running? I want a set of these (as mentioned on E30tech), but I need some time to get out of holiday debt. I'm definately down if this goes toward the end of next month.

                Wait so, the kit does NOT include the strut assemblies?

                  The set up is the same for both regular e30s and e30 M3s. the only real difference is that the M3 struts don't need to have the swaybar link points welded on.

                  In terms of assembling the kit on your car, it's very similar to the way the GC kit assembles. You will still need to find someone local to cut the stock spring perches off and have the new coilover perches and M3 swaybar link tabs welded on. I still don't feel that shortening the strut tube itself is necessary for a street car, so that is up to you. I've been running mine at stock length for over a year and have yet to have a problem.

                  And FTR, the strut housings are not included. Those are a set that I did for another customer (Erik325i).

                              the group buy will run through february, if we get 10 buyers paid before then, the kits will start shipping out about 2 weeks after payment recieved. thanks!
