New Coilover GB

[Fanzotti]

Could you tell us more about the front shock replacement? What the old shock was versus what the new shock will be? How these are comparable/difference. I plan on using H&R race springs, Are the Koni's in this group buy what I want for these springs? I'm guessing I want the shorter fronts? or do you think I should get regular E30 fronts for these?

If you think these are good for my set up...I'm in.


Thanks Slyder....you're about to add some joy to my life.

Come on guys, buy this kit!!
I have it on my 325iC and I am in love with it! The ride is amazing even with 500/800 springs in there, it rides smooth and solid. Get these while you can before the price goes up!!:hitler:

[dom]

so that means we still need 2 more people. come on folks!

Sorry

Hey folks. I know I've been out of touch for the last couple of days. I've been putting out some fires on the supply side of the house.

Currently, the regular short bodies that I use for these kits are out of stock with no expected replenishing shipment from Europe. I've been on the phone with Koni for the last couple of days and have found an excellent replacement, and these new strut inserts will be included with every C3 Motorsport Coilover kit going forward. The only downside is that they are slightly more expensive due to the special valving.

That being said...for THIS GB, I will absorb the additional cost of substituting these shocks for the original ones in the interest of good business. If you ultimately planning on running higher spring rates of 500+, these are the ideal setup for you, however they will work just fine with the lower rates of 400-450 as well.

The last list of people I have for interest in this kit is as follows:

1. Adrian (local)
2. Ron (local)
3. crunk3
4. ldsbeaker
5. Fanzotti
6. vlad_rpm
7. e30dvr
8. dom (local, pshhhhyeaaaaaa boy!)

10.

Of these 8 people, how many are ready to commit and do we have any others interested? I'd like to get this GB knocked out while we still have adequate supply lines ;)

Still waiting on those wrenches.....................:zzz:

What wrenches are you talking about?

I've had the C3 coilover setup on my car for months and have adjusted the ride height 4 or 5 times and have never needed any special wrenches...

Slyder returned my PM, I just have a few more questions to ask him or other members about using the shortened shocks up front with H&R race springs. I believe this is the way I'm going and is also the best set up for these springs, So if it all irons out and looks kosher I'm in for a set of the Koni's.

[dom]

so we still got only 8 people?! 2 more!!

[Fanzotti]

Just want to thank Slyder for PMing me back and giving me thorough explanations to my questions.

I've been looking for Top Adjust Koni's for all four corners for some time. If you are not familiar with E30 Koni's, you can't buy rear adjustables from Koni. Basically there's Koni's that work from other cars on E30's.

I have been shopping around for quite some time and Slyders price is by far the cheapest I've seen.

Damn dude, you know me too well! Well, it was either that or "Clown Porn"... ;):drink:

I know this may be a bit off topic but... There's a strip club in LA called Jumbo's Clown Room < best strip club name ever. Total shithole, great t-shirts. 2.00 beers, no cover. I've been in there at least 5 times, twice Lemmy from motorhead was just hanging out playing Mrs. Pac Man. Another tid bit, Back in Courtney Love's stripper days... This was her place of employment. Brings a tear to my eye.

Maybe by mistake you typed "Dirty crazy bitches" into google instead of "vorshlag" Just a guess?:up:
