First a big thanks to the board as you all helped me decide to do this stuff on my 90 325i.
Put on Koni SA's(from GC, w/ rear top adjust), HR race springs, GC RSM's and their bump stops , RRT fixed max camber plates, w/ new oe strut mounts , and BMW 10 mm rear spring pads.
Car rides VERY comfy w/ shocks on full soft, softer than I ever expected. Even w/ Konis turned up 1 turn from full hard it is streetable, so much so I think and hope it wont be too soft for hard DE track work. I thought these rates(HR springs)) of @ 320 in frt and 550 in rear would feel rock hard but not so( these rates are approx., as I dont have figures in frt of me).Dont have suspension drop figures here but will post them this week. RRT plates look to give me @ 3 degrees neg camber..will do align. in about 1 week. 10 mm pads give me a more likeable rake as these HR race and also IE stg 3 seem to make the cars look a tad lower in rear which I do not like.( plus the camber plates gave me more ht in frt) I also bought GC custom bump stops which are shorter and harder than stock. One cannot use oe dust boots up frt w/ these and no dust boots were supplied from GC so I am wondering if none are to be used? What are you guys doing?.....Ill call GC in a day sor so....feel free to ask any ques. or make comments. Will post pics very soon.
