    Upgrading Suspension on my Vert

    Looking at the suspension kits available at Pelican parts.
    Since I'm looking to upgrade the suspension I figure this is a good time to lower the car.

    For what I can tell on the site the Stage 3 suspension kit would do the trick.
    Are there any of these kits are intended for the 318ic?

    There is a stage 2 suspension kit intended for the vert, but I don't see anything indicating it will lower the car.

    Thanks.

    Go there please, for the price that pelican lists you could have a decent coil-over setup and it would be fully adjustable.

      ground control 450/750 rides nice its what they recommend on verts and what I have on mine. If you can afford konis go that route if not even stock works with bumpstops.

          what the difference between the standard coilover and the double adjustable. This is referring to the GC kits

            The standard shocks are only adjustable for stiffness where as the doubles add in adjustment for rebound.

              Stock vert front springs are 1.5 coils taller than reg. E30's, they weigh more too, thats why they have thier own lowering springs if you go what way. http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/show...t=vert+springs

                but you can just run regular coupe springs. i have coupe H&R Race in my vert and it works fine.
