    Einstein-Are you running the adjusters on the lowest, or no adjustors at all? I'd be interested in this kit maybe after christmas or next summer.
    The first car I ever rode in was an e30

        The fronts are basically as low as it will be with the stock strut mounts. I can go lower with my camber plates. You can't really run the rear adjusters on the lowest setting with the 4" springs that were on the initial kits. You will basically bottom out your shock or smack the upper and lower spring retaining nipples on a dip.

        This is basically what you get minus the camber plates. The front spring is shorter. I personally enjoy the benefits of running a longer spring. I've been meaning to tame new pictures but i have been too lazy to clear my full memory card.






        This is about how low you can go on stock strut bearings.

          Do you know if those springs would be good for track? I'm going to be drifting my e30. If you need a test car I'll gladly try em out.

                Well, that is the great thing about coilovers. You can dump your car for the lulz, for car shows or whatever. You can raise them for winter duty. You can find the sweet spot for track days and above all you can corner balance your car with them in all of these situations.

                  The first thing I'll do when I get my GC coilovers is drop it all the way down, take a few pics, then raise is back up to a sensible height. I look forward to it lol.

                    Any reviews on these cheap coilovers? I have an E30 that I daily drive and I'm in the need for a new suspension and anything right now would be better than leaking shocks.

                      Are you talking abuot the german engineering setup? I don't know what he's using for threaded sleeves, but the springs are Hyperco so you need not be worried about them.
