there you go, a picture of the piece you want, gc provides it...

Originally posted by sk8ercof316 View PostI would think they did, but everyone that kept answering my question said that the kit didn't come with the new spring perches. Thanks for that information though. I am out of this group buy now, because I thought you could shorten the strut tube and run any shock(I'd be running bilstein sports). Sorry about that.

But in another case, I thought GC provided the new spring perch(piece of steel piping). But, I guess I was wrong. Because everyone said it didn't come with that piece.

Jean, what spring length do you have on your other set of coilovers. I was thinkin you had some on your other e30 and curious on the lengths, I can't find anything on it in a search.

Originally posted by DSP74 View PostI had a set of Bilstein's shortened and revalved for my Camaro back in 02 I think.....The cost to shorten was an additional 60 bucks....on top of the revalve...
FWIW those shocks worked great, and I only moved onto something else becasue of the lack of adjustment.

Maintaining suspension travel between the strut tube, and camber plate....Before being WAY into the bump stops which you damn sure need....sigpic
