    What are my options to drop my vert?

    I was wondering if you guys can help me out on this. So I got my vert. for about a month now and just finally finish up the exterior. I'm not trying to autox or track this car anytime soon or never. Its basically my DD. With my pass few cars I always have run coilovers on them. So I'm hoping to do the same with this vert, simply so i can adjust the height to my likings. I'm a total noob to this car, so I don't know anything about suspension for her.

    So my question is the car currently have some bilstiens on it, not sure what model. (Will check tomorrow) I want something like this:


    What do I need to do or modify to have those work on my vert. with the bilstiens? Is it even possible? Also what spring rate would I need to get? I'm basically trying to get the stance and drop. Please help a brother out! TIA!:D

          Those should work on your e30. Since you select the ratio and all you should be able to set it up to accommodate it being a vert and having all of the top setup weighting it down. Suspension is the same.
          ninja edit: I was referring to the gc coilovers. And the Bilsteins will work with them as you can select that your running bilsteins on gc's website
