    If you're worried about rake and you're not satisfied with the look once it's done you could probably take the adjuster out and just run the coil in the original spring location.

      if you want true coilovers on the rear of an e30, youve got a lot of work ahead of you.

        Here's a instruction how to install them in the front, I think it looks like shit. Dont't think it's possible to go low with these, not in the front atleast.:roll:
        Instructions are for V-maxx but it's the same as JOM.

              New to e30's, not to coilovers.

              I went and checked other kits, and you're right, it's a kit for the front with perches for the rear. My bad. I went out and looked at the car, I can see what needs to be done for a true rear setup.

                There really isn't even a reason to put a true coilover in the back of the car, the RSM's aren't made to handle all that jazz.

                  Yea that install is terrible. Cut off that perch and you can actually use the adjuster.

                        :hitler:
                        Someone has to have some concrete information about these on an e30 application.

                              i like my dd to handle well. sloppy dailys are terribly boring and unsafe. mine as well spend your $400 on ground control coil over conversion and use stock shocks. thats a bunch more performance than these. shocks in this kit wont last long.

                              koni GC complete kit will be on every e30 i own
