Early model E30 lowest lowering rear springs???

[It's Soda Not Pop]

what do you think of the recommended GC spring rates for street car with the conversion kit, 375/475 front/rear. I don't want the ride to be extremely hard and definitely not soft. Something in between but more towards a sportier ride

My spring rate is 450F/650R. It's a bit firm at that rate not too harsh but definitely not soft.
This is what GC recommended to me for an "aggressive back-road car" (mid range for a daily and a entry level track setup)

No worries

CondorSpeedShop sales an affordable rear toe and camber adjustment bushing that does not require cutting or welding. So if you go low and you need to adjust toe and camber you can.

Yes that is certainly possible. If the adjusters were removed in the rear with 4" springs the wheel would be rubbing inside the fender.

As @It's Soda Not Pop said, contact GC when you order and tell them exactly what you want and they will set you up. This is my third coil-over kit I've bought from them and they've been able to get me exactly what I need every time.

Keep in mind that if you goo that low you will need to weld in camber adjusters in the rear or you will be destroying the insides of your tires.

mine are set here, so probably like an inch?

ok perfect. so it looks like i would be able to close the tire/fender gap without getting rid of the adjusters. thanks man :)

I just send GC an email to get all the informations i need.

Ok i understand. So i don't think i will be removing the adjusters in this case but i will definitely try the lowest setting with adjuster, i will keep a very small gap between the tire and the fender so i won't rub. Weld in camber adjusters are a pain to install? where can i get in case i have to?
keep in my mind my wheels are 17s so i won't need the same drop to close the gap as if i had 15s

one more question for you how low you get in the rear on the 4'' springs with and without the adjusters?

mine are set here, so probably like an inch?

Are you able to lower it to close the gap completley in the rear with the adjusters? and how low it would go without the adjusters on the 4'' springs?

Yes that is certainly possible. If the adjusters were removed in the rear with 4" springs the wheel would be rubbing inside the fender.

I bought the springs directly from Eibach but I imagine GC can probably hook you up with the right one

Here are some other options as well. But like I said GC should be able to help you out.

Do you know the model of the Swift rear springs that would work?

Unfortunately I do not, But you can email GC and they should be able to help you get it sorted. I believe they will use different springs, or whatever works in your favor. You may have to go with a true coilover in the rear.
