E28 Coilover suspension DIY (in progress)

[iamsam]

This is all very very good info. Maybe I'll buy myself a set of honda springs soon. Gotta love the ricer aftermarket availability...

This thread keeps on getting better. We need a pictorial "How to" now.

Hopefully i will be doing this on my e21 this week. The suspension design is exactly the same and i will be sure to take detailed pics of the entire process.

I think once I gather enough info and pics I will update my first post and make it more comprehensive.

FYI, I put the set of springs that I just got in on the spring tester and they tested out at 525 and 550. Should be plenty for a daily/track car.

Cheapshot, for your selfless contribution to this thread, I bestow unto you:

^^^ Why thank you kind sir. I will store it away for a rainy day. One can never have to many internets.

Damn, I want to win an internet.

I like the look... and thats what matters. 3 inche sof travel when being that low is very nice though.. whether or not it is usable travel ... well

That's Jb325is's e34, on the coilovers he built himself to see how low they can go. I doubt he'll drive it like that.

I assume some of this info could be used here so I'll link it.

Also 5toes I don't know if you know but the e34 and e28 strut housings are a slightly different size.
