GC Coilovers and Rear End Refresh :)

[coreyw]

I have the marshall subframe too, installed it in may of this year and took it for an alignment, i was at -3.5 left and 3.73 right camber, and the toe was way off +1.1 left and -0.54 right. After alignment the camber was at -2.07 left and -2.09 right (factory spec is -2.0), toe was correted to +0.20 left and +0.11 right (factory spec is +0.19). I was gappy with the results. One thing though, the left (driver side) toe nut was a bitch and gave the guy a very hard time to deal with it as it was very hidden. Did you run into the same problem?

Yah, the toe nuts are a pain to get to. Barely any room between the subframe bushing and the nut. But thats just how it is with e30s. I know theres only so much the camber bolts can do though, so I'm happy with my alignment as well.

What do you gain from coilovers?

A lot. You can go lower without sacrificing ride quality. You don't even haveto go lower, and you get a much better handling car because the shocks are custom valved to match the spring rates. So everything works together. Whereas if you have stock bilstein sports and H&R races you'll practically be riding on the bump stops.

You would need adjustable drop lings for the sways so in that respect oem are easier. The M3 style allow you to use smaller bars that are more effective due to fulcrum point being different.

Oh I see. I may end up doing that sometime then. Might be too much with the 22mm ST bar though.

Still liking the car but why did you not use the M3 anti swaybar attachments vs the control arms?

Keep the progress up on the car. Some interior shots of it.

I just didn't have the links for that. What's the benefit of using them?

Why couldn't he get it even? I would take it somewhere else.

He said thats the most the camber bolts could go. I don't know what another place could do to help that.
