    Koni Availability + Drop height Q's

    I would like to thank anyone in advance for providing any kind of input on the matter(s)

    1. Would I be correct in my assumption that, as of this moment, the only vendor that supplies top adjustable Koni's for all four corners would be TCKline?

    2. If my intent is to pair the Koni's with H&R sport springs, would the employment of a larger than 5mm spring pad in the rear, perhaps something like 9mm or greater, help to equalize drop height in the rear to that of the front?

    I have noticed that in the stock "4x4" height, the rear appears to be a bit lower than the front, and with consideration to the fact that the Sport set is an equal drop of around 1.25-1.3" for both front and rear, I am left assuming that I will be stuck with the same proportionality just 1.3" lower.

    2.

    there are multiple series of H&R sports. check part numbers. mine have a good drop but 15mm pads from Bimmerworld helped raise the rear up. and they are cheap

      Hmm, I was under the impression that H&R's sport kit was just a generic kit that had a corresponding drop height claim. I know that they offer a "stock" set up and a race set up, I could be wrong. I just assumed all the vendors I have been looking at that carry the H&R "sport" kit were offering the same product. I suppose I will look back and try to cross reference any product numbers provided.

        I got my top adjustable Konis from Bimmerworld.


        Hope that helps.

          it appears lower in the rear at all times b/c the rear wheel arches are lower than the front on all e30's post '87...

            Thanks for the heads up on that. I actually came across the answer myself after having posted the above comments. Perceptual Illusion. Didn't realize bimmerworld was carrying the top adjustables for both front and rear, will have to investigate that. Thanks.

              Koni Adjustables

              Did you ever find out if Bimmerworld sold the top adjustable Koni's?
