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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

And note, this works for EVERYTHING. They are all the same size diameter. E12 based stuff e28 based, and e30 based too. Shit, even E3s are the same. Everything should fit to drop these motherfuckers to the frame.

I used e30 strut inserts but only bc I got such a good deal on them. Anything you can use for an e03 i.e. g60, ix, mr2 rears, etc. will work as well. Just add 1/2" to 3/4" over the difference they would be in an e30.

more pics?

Thats all I have right now. I will be pulling it down in a few weeks to put in the custom valved billy struts and will get more pics then. I will also be doing my e21 this week and it is the same concept and will take more detailed pictures then.
