            they'll work. go with stockers unless you need rake/want your car slammed.

                  black = stock e30m3

                  just because they will fit doesn't mean they're what you want.

                  do research on the spring rates for whatever you are thinking of buying, BEFORE you spend money.

                  if you're not sure what spring rates mean, do research on handling dynamics.

                  if that sounds like too much work, buy IE stg3 and be happy.

                    yeah, after talking a friend, I decided to not buy these because they are made for a completely different kind of car, therefore, most likely having totally wrong spring rates.

                    :D

                        ie stage 3 on an ix would lead to all sorts of problems. h and r sports or custom leda coils or custom GC. you have options they just arent' cheap options. if you want the custom coilovers hit me up and i can get you the guys digits.

                          GC should bolt right on FYI. I know of a 325ixer who's a GC dealer, he helped a guy out who was building a rally ix. you can email him if you wish, sadare@aol.com

                            nice, i will do this at some point, maybe soon if my new wheels rub too much. i can spare a grand or so, and unload my h and r's.
