why would you order them, and then ask peoples oppinions on them?

I have them. Still getting used to them. Coming from my non-e30 other car (GCs w/ Konis), it's quite a change. You don't get the tight, tight, tight feel that you do w/ a coil-over setup.

OTOH, I rode in BeauB's GC-equipped e30 and decided it wasn't for me. The springs are too short for everyday use on Ohio roads. Even w/ the Konis set on full-soft, the GC set-up was too tough for a daily driver. If i still ived in the South, I might have opted for that. But there is quite a price-difference, too.

So, this seems to be a good compromise. At just over 1.5", the drop is right and it makes a very nice stance. A real pisser is that driver-side front tire caught the edge of that fender on steep approach angle into my driveway (and the speed was low - like 5 MPH). Luckily, it was a fender I had planned to repaint, anyway, but still a pisser nonetheless.

In any case, I'm not sure if that was because I am running 225/50/15 Toyo T-1s on an et25 wheel or whether the springs are just too soft. I am gonna either roll the fender or have 3mm taken off the back of the wheel and see what happens.

Overall, at this time, I rate them a solid 7. Definitely an improvement over the stock IS supsension by a factor of 10. And the price is oh-so-right for what you get.
