Might need to change springs...

Stiff springs rates make you hate your car on NE roads. You guys really dont know how shitty they are up here.

Ummm....I'm even further north than you. The ride is well within reason.

Agreed. As long as you have good dampening (Konis), the GC ride is not that bad at all, and the handling response with linear rates is phenomenal.

I'd recommend 350f/475r with the 6" springs front and rear.

Do they make Cabby specific H&R races? I am in the market and I don't want to hit but would love to be lower and a lot stiffer?

nope.

get coupe ones and add spring pads, or get the gc's like these guys...

How are the roads in Canada? Ive been to Ottawa and Montreal alot but never made it to Toronto. Ive been pretty impressed with the quality of Canadian roads to tell you the truth, but the local town roads in coastal NE Scotty and I drive suck major balls. I might be worse though, NH doesnt spend a whole lot on their roads other than on decent plowing, which just makes the potholes that much more frequent.


You manage to swap in another pad yet? Shouldnt be to much work for just the rears right ;)

Will sports also give a good ride? I can't afford GC's right now but I want to lower and stiffen it up until out of college

[Mastrcruse]

I'm thinking Bilisteins and H&R Sports but is there a better setup such as Koni's instead of Bilisteins?

Bimmerworld sells a 15mm lower rear spring pad

Bimmerworld sells a 15mm lower rear spring pad. The thickest OEM ones are 10mm.

The 15mm ones are acutally OEM pads for an E46 (p/n 33 53 1 094 754).

I had this problem with IE3 springs. I doubled up 10mm spring pads in the rear and also doubled the upper and lower spring pads in the front. The fronts are harder to stack.

I think the best way to raise the front is to buy front camber plates. I know some of them raise your ride height.

if you ever switch setup, let me know, I am in Boston area as well, and would love to snag these from you.

Let the heresy begin!

Cut a coil from the stock springs using a cut-off wheel. You won't be able to tell the diference between them and Sports.
