    Those wheels are sick. You must be on wheel-whores.com. I don't know where else you could find some. They remind me of Ronal R10 or OZ rallye.
    Here is my photo gallery answering common questions about Ground Control Suspension, and e30 suspension problems in general.

      GC perches/ springs on billy sports. But, i did cut down the bumpstop to gain a little travel. I still bottom out on stuff though, next is either camber plates or some short shcoks

        What size springs did you order from GC? I think I'm going to get those...they look like they go low enough for what I want

          6" front 5" rear.


          keep in mind though, i have an early model with higher arches. 5" on a latemodel can look goofy. Also, softer rates will settle and be lower, stiffer will compress less

            Which one of the konis is the best for having a lowered car?

            Is the premium, street, or auto x better?

              Is the suspension the same for verts as it is for coupes/sedans? I found some koni's for pretty cheap here, but not sure if it'll fit my car.

                  I know your looking for help here Jaywood but pick up the phone & call GC or bilstein or koni and TALK to someone who is a professional, dont care about asking 10million questions or calling back repeatedly because thats what they are there for...especially the companies with such good customer service.

                  You can take peoples opinions on the forums for what they are worth but dont come on here asking every little question, sometimes you have to take a risk and try things out to see how it works.

                  EDIT:just saw the date sorry lol at least I know not to get thr conversion kit with my bilsteins!

                    Thread helped me out a bunch too, Mark set me right on the phone as well as the info here from Jay and I changed my order from the conversion coils to a full set-up. Can't wait!
