        Can't get any cheaper then this. VW guys seem to like them. Although don't expect anything near the quality or reliability of something like ground control, kw, bilstein, tein, etc.

          You can do what I did and just get the ground control e36/e30 coilover conversion kit where you modify your existing struts (hopefully good struts like billy sports) into coilovers.

            My bro has the racelands in his e36. They're actually pretty nice. If I didn't know they were racelands I'd guess they were something of higher quality.

              I have Tein coilovers on the front of mine. Rear is M Coupe H&R Race springs though.

                We are converting the stock E36m3 struts to a coilover system which will also accept the E30 strut.
