Cosmo Racing Coilover Kit

[!kid]

Nope I had the same ones that V V V he had...



Yup I had the same thing as you, The problem was all around each spring was adjusted about 1/4 inch difference...

how did you set your ride hight?(what did you messure to get correct ride hight for LF RF and LR RR) or did you corner balence?

[e30this]

I measured the pinch weld..

[!kid]

the proper way to messure ride hight is from the bottom of the wheel arch to the center of the bottom of the rim


i guess ill keep searching formore info on these springs before i make up my mind

[e30this]

Whats the difference? What if my wheel arch is fucked up and one sags lower then the other? I know for sure that my passenger rear quarter sits a tad lower then the driver side. Factory error? Maybe.. I still figure pinch weld to ground is the only way to go.

But then again e30s always have that funny lean.

Is all you're looking for is a street/track car set up with a drop? If so look up H&R street or IE Stage 3 hope that helps also another thing to remember one will always say what they think is best, but is it best for you? that is the real question.

i was thinking going with a spec e30 suspension set up but 400$ for springs !! damn thats alot. good chance ill go with billie sports or koni's i am just not sure what spring to go with. the car will see auto x and track events also next year i want to try and compete in a time attack event.

the IE stage 3 springs have the same spring rate as the H&R race springs and are 100$ less.

im thinking about these coilovers more and more. i used to blow all my money on my car, and had no problem dropping $1500 on suspension. and even still, my cars never see the track. lol, i just want better handling, and low. normal springs just dont fit the bill.

billies and cosmos fit the bill (price wise). but if i can get better performance with koni's and cosmo's, that might be the best route (for me).

but IE3's sit higher.

[lucky7]

they all sit too high for an early car, IMO. :D
but i thought the IE3's were supposed to lower a TAD more than the H&R's. hmmm. either way, its not enough. haha.

[!kid]

but IE3's sit higher.

does this harm your suspension performance?

i have em right now, ill make sure to post a review on my thread but the car wont be driveable for another month... and the ride will be garbage because I'm running the stock struts until theyre destroyed *cringe* (flamesuit on)

Cosmo's only save like 200 dollars and you then have to wonder about the quality of the spring/perch/etc.

[lucky7]

they save $200 over what??
