Real Rear coilovers

[Charley]

The spring OD is 2.6875". I just mic'ed it. I did get everything from the same place, a speed shop in Arkansas called Southwest Speed. They have a website, www.southwestspeed.com AJ has good pricing and a ton of stuff. I've bought quite a bit from him for my E30 build. I could probably come up with part numbers for all of the individual items, PM me if you want them.

As far as the E30 M3 vs. I6 Z3 rear hubs, I can't say as to whether or not 1 is better than the other for the coilover setup. I would think that any advantage gained in hub offset would be equalized by the corresponding correct wheel offset. Obviously, the Z3 setup I'm running pushes the hub towards the outside further than the OE M3, but you use a lower offset wheel, so there may no real advantage to either setup. The inside of the wheel may end up in roughly the same place. Dunno, until they've been compared. Hope this helps you out, LMK if you need any other info...

Great Info Garey thanks. that website is great! I can manage to find the
P/N...

An other question what are you using in the front? Do you have an e36M3
setup up front?

I'm wondering if I can use one of their threaded adjusters in the front like
the ones in the GC kit. If I can do that then only camber plates and RSM
would be needed.

Just saw these. Says E30 M3
Asking price is $8000

WAY out of my price range and needs. My car is a summer DD car/fun car.

if you do that then your going to have to worry about what offset wheels you run in the rear + fender rolling

With the same setup than Garey I would easily clear both set of wheels
that own right now.
