    Unsure, Chris E30 Cab says he has had troubles with his IE3's on his vert in a thread right around this one 'how to raise a suspension' or something along those lines. I'm not sure if thats what are on the black one in his sig or not.

    However, supposedly theyre pretty close to H&R race springs, and here's a pic of Dave's old cab with H&R race's and bilstein sports. I was trying to copy this stance but I was a noob when I saw his misquoted post saying they were sport springs. I just bought a set of H&R race's though to "fix" that ;).

    Also, people say that the IE3's have a little more reverse rake than the race's do, and for a cabrio, that's just a little heavier already and some of that weight in the rear, it may look a little tugboatish.

    Either way, THESE are H&R Race's. Stock tire size. -

      I run H&R race with bilstein sports on my cab - love the ride, love the handling - scrape the speed bumps, but meh :)

        I'm on Vogtland and Bilsteins and feel it's dangerously low. Going to a real sized tire to bring some ride height back

          I just bought races, and have those same shocks. Yeah, meh. :P

          What tire size are you running?

            I have IE3s on my coupe and love them, but I would think that a cabby is going to get a lot of reverse rake. I wish the front would go just a bit lower (I even run mine w/o spring pads). The back end of them is already pretty low and the added weight isn't gonna help.

              205/45/16's in the front, 205/50/16's in the rear (don't ask)

              Even with the stock weaves there was a bit of hotrod rake - higher in the rear than in the front. I love it. I am considering swapping to sports to get a bit more height and better tire wear, but I do love these race springs :)
