    Whoaa, can't believe it's been 2 years since this.

    With the sectioned housings, the car rides and handles beautifully especially after dropping the front rate 50lbs.
    There's always room for improvement, but I'm really happy for what it is and how it handles when I want to drive spiritedly.

        gahhhhh.....thishit makes me wanna sell the E34 and do to the E28 what I swore(to my wife and myself) I wouldn't.....

        Nice show Gentlemen, keep up the good work.

        BTW the single-wiper makes me nostalgic for the mid-to-late 90's when I was in HS/College, before roof racks/rust/stickers/'proper' stance were SOP.

          Bilstein iX, but making the switch to Koni sooner or later. Good guess lol, 750 4" rear.

            Your using bilstein in the rear too? i wanted to go with a 4" spring too but worried about how much the suspension "droops" when its lifted up and the spring to fall out lol

              I am. I've never had a problem in the years I've been running it.
              I'm using a 4" so I can actually use an adjuster.. most people just remove them because they don't like how they sit.

              To be fair, I have spring pads in there and it's midway on the adjust still.
              nothing's going to fall out ;) There are hooks for limit straps on our chassis as well if you're a bit worried!

                Ok cool, Im running GC 5" 750lb spring w/koni without the adjuster and its pretty easy for it to come out. I was thinking bout getting shorter struts to solve this problem and eventually get some 4" springs and put the adjusters back on. right now i only have the gold collar on the bottom and the white plastic spring perch they give ahhaha. well at least its good to know that most likely they wont fall out! ahha Thanks!
