    Coilovers with 5lug questions

    I'm looking to throw a set of Coilovers on my 318is with my 5 lug but am unfamiliar with who to go with? I plan on autox & doing driving schools with the car, the brands I do know are the bilstein PSS9 & H&R's stuff but am curious about GC & if anyone has used BC before ?

    Help me to spend my money wisely

    Im sort of in the same situation. The issue is e36 coilovers will work upfront, but not in the rear (on 318ti stuff atleast). Ive been talking to the guys at ground control and it looks like im gonna go with the Z3 roadster kit which is really e36 front and e30 rear. Now Im just talking about the conversion kit, I plan on running my bilstein sport struts with spring rates similar to the IE3 springs that I liked.

      What's the issue with the rears?

      Do you have a contact name or number for ground control?

      Also forgot to add I'm running e36 stuff

        We have a complete system just for you!


        You can also get the basic kit for the e36/Z3 5 lug swap, all you have to do is ask.

        The main difference in the rear is the adjusters, which are different between the e30 and e36.

          ^I was just about to post the "bastard kit", GC is a good company to work with and Jay knows his stuff on setting up an E30.

          Stay away from BC, it's knock off Tiawanese junk.

            OK, was just thinking about the same thing, as buying the entire kit is gonna be a lot for me to drop at once, and I think I'll be skipping the camber plates anyway. If I bought E36 M Konis for the front and E30 shocks for the rear, will the GC spring/adjuster kit be about the same price for the E30/E36 kit?
