What I'm planning to do:
I have an e36m3 front 5-lug and a Ti rear ready to go in the car. The front struts are TC Kline dual adjustable Koni, threaded shock bodies. I need to get front springs (6"?) and want to set the car up for a decent Daily/AutoX. Rates i'm exploring are 450# fronts and possibly 650# rears. I need to figure out what to do about the rear rates as currently, i do not have adjustable perches.
I cannot get a set of rear adjusters from ground control because they are not allowed to split a kit, but Turner has some H&R rear height adjusters for $160. They are for use with 60mm I.D. springs and I was wondering if anyone has had experience with these? It doesn't look like there is a locking mechanism or anything. And i'm more curious about spring choice/stiffer availability and whether or not the 6" springs were too long. Are you able to use the "non-barreled" springs on the E30 without coil binding issues?
Springs cost about 60 each and my dilemma is, do i just try to piece these things together and wait...wait...wait... until used springs become available. Or do i just bite the bullet, spend on credit, and order the FULL ground-control kit, only to have front perches kicking around which may not sell for much to recoup any cost.
Anyone have any rears kicking around? Why is there not a springswap thread yet?
