      a good soak in wd40 should free those up.

      Matt, I'd go with TCK

        wow those are beat! but they'll probably still work.

        I always take them out and clean them before adjusting.. since I basically only do it once a year anyway

          Do you know what spring ID the TCK perches are made for?

            I'll give you my old rear perches for a song. Just found them cleaning out a closet
            ...PM sent. If Matt doesn't want them I'll take 'em.

              what you did to this car is like getting a supermodel naked and willing to do anything you please. now here you are faced with ths once in a lifetime opportunity and then you squander it by making her fuck you in the butt with a 24" strap on. you are a sad, silly little boy.

                So it seems none of the adjustable perches will even work with my 2.25 ID springs. Fuck.

                  Those are standard GC E30 rear adjusters size... probably the vast majority of people with GC's have 2.25 springs.

                  Only a minority I would guess have 2.5ID rear springs and would be barrell shaped.

                          I'm pretty sure Bimmerworld has them, just like GC's but sold separately.

                            Just checked out their site and didn't see anything.

                            Went ahead and ordered the adjusters from TC Kline on Friday. Pete was very helpful and I am very satisfied with their customer service!

                              Matt DDM sells cheap coilovers as well maybe they will sell a rear perch separately.
