              Yeah, what makes it junk??

              i've been running (lot of track, lot of street) their 8k front 10k rear (standard) for two years, the same kit on two cars (rip bronzit). koni adjustables yada yada yada. they kik ass and are half the price of GC.. the sleeve is aluminum, but i haven't had any issues with them adjustments or anything. nobody says they have to be steel. what else. yeah, why do they suck again?

              spend your money on shocks. springs perform the same.
              No more e30s for me.

                    What makes them junk? Well I ran them for about a rear. At first they was fine, Then over the next few months they started to sag. I had to adjust them so the car would even sit lever. They was all adjusted within 1/4 inch of each other.
                    My buddy (bumblebeemer) also had cosmos and he ran into the same exact problem. I have also read about atleast 2-3 other people that had the same problem. They are just junk, Im speaking from experience and not out my ass..

                        i didnt have that problem. was the problem in the front or rear? springs will take about a week or so to settle anyways, but not months. idk, but because of me, they'll give you 5" springs on the rear now. they used to give 6" and the lowering range wasn't very good. you could actually raise your car -.-
