I installed my GC stuff yesterday and went for a lond drive in the mountains today. Coming from 168/400 Tein E36 M3 springs, I was expecting an extremely harsh stiff ride. I was pleasantly surprised the first time I hit a sharp edged bump and it felt almost exactly the same! On bigger bumps it is more noticeble, but still very tolerable. It handles like a kart! Much less body roll and transitions are much smoother.
With the stiff rear springs I am getting alot more oversteer so I think my next mod will be an Ireland adjustable front bar.

Good spring combo for 318is IHMO

Essentially, it's the damper that dictates ride quality. Hence why I'm currently upping my spring rates (to reduce my rare but still annoying bottoming out).

And yeah, the best part about linear springs is the turn-in response and transitional control. Awesome stuff, but also more likely to throw the inexperienced off a cliff.

rather have oversteer than understeer anyday.

yes, but I would rather have it neutral with all 4 tires getting the same grip.

Well, i was just jacking up the suspension for the winter and I noticed that the rear springs arent 600's like I ordered. They are actually 650's! Im going to need stiffer springs up front when the snow melts.
