LowTec Group Buy 7/31-8/15

[enzo]

I got my package today! 60/35mm for the E30 1991 318is (p/n 05314).

[Kwaaahhh]

No its just recommended to upgrade them because they are a common point of failure. At worst upgrade them to the e36 ones and really you should buy some aftermarket ones like RE, or GC. I personally went with the RE ones because they use rubber. Trying to avoid as much polly as possible on my daily.

Oic, thanks man! Guess I'll wait till you get your on and will see how it looks. :up:

I want to see them installed.

Just for anyone who hasnt seen this already (hope jason doesnt mind). These are the 60/50s... jasons car is the tits too. Basicly what made me buy these springs (and the wheels).

So we need rear shock mounts to install these springs?

ah ok so i was backwards. Did you remove both the lower and uppers from the rear?

Yes, i removed both upper and lower from the rear.

[Kwaaahhh]

and everyone hates on early models.:roll:

And those ground control shock mounts are expensive i think i'm just going with e46 or e36 cabby rear shock mounts

that's why i got the 60/35.
some front rake > worrying about reverse rake.
i have late model arches.

i guess we'll see once installed ;)

Sweet man! Looking forward to the pics!

Yeah my car is a 90' vert and I guess i have the late model arch, so I want to make sure what to remove and not to have a good stance.

Actually i think the fronts will need to be removed or the rears doubled up for the drop to look even(or drop hats). I know jason has the 60/50's and he had to double his rears IIRC. He also has an early model car though.

I will post mine up once i get them installed in the next week or 2.

If you're talking about my car (since there are 52,703 Jasons on here :crazy:) i got the spring pads in the front but none in the rear. With them removed, it only drops them 1/8"-1/4".

Indeed, im about 30 minutes north of you in the peninsula. I got the lowtec 60/50 and the matches shocks/struts for them as well as a completely overhauled suspension. Will be going in before the new year so you are welcome to check it out and take a ride.

Thanks man! I might just take you up on that offer!
