Correct^^^

And if you want to save a few bucks (not much) Bimmerworld makes them too, and you can actually replace the delrin bushing in it if it wears out. I bought them, think they were like $160.

increased caster, saves space for swaps with exhausts. Plus they are "solid"

I can see the space saving. they're the same geometry as the m3 cabs right?

What benefit do the treehouse cabs provide?

That's pretty soft. I wanted to run rates like that and GC told me I'd crack an oil pan. Ended up going with 440/650

Edit: rides firm but not jarring. I've got 80A bushings out back and rubber m3 offset cabs up front

Interesting, im not worried about the pan or cracking/scraping but i think if you went real low with this rate you'd run into problems but im not planning on that.

Im thinking its going to be a firm ride tho, especially when i bolt the Treehouse Racing CABs. Excited to see how those turn out (funny pun is funny :))

350 front
500 rear

in a brand new e30.......

If only..

perfect for DD, I have those rates on my e30

I know! This much I've heard and I'm very excited to try it out.

how is the rear 170? for real? wow.........my car is 550/750 so what do I know haha

[Mr. Tasty]

That will probably ride much like a fresh stock set of springs.......Guessing of course as I wasn't ever in a brand new e30.......

stock rates are lik F130#/R170# lol
