            I'm waiting for everyone to start beating on him for the suspension
            he chose.
            Looks really low.

                Interesting combination, never heard of that being done. The shocks that come with the Cup Kit are specially matched to the spring rate. Sounds interesting!

                You'll have to give us your opinion of it after driving it for a while. I always thought the Cup Kit was WAY to squishy.

                    You act like I have piles of parts just sitting around... Come on, I only have 4 complete sets of aftermarket e30 wheels sitting in the backyard...

                    You better bring your car to the meet Saturday! No excuses like, my car can't run...

                      Michael forgot to mention that we are also putting in my ST swaybars, so it won't lean as much in the corners.

                      Accually it wasn't as low as we thought it was going to be. It's almost the same height as my car with H&R Sports...

                      You should have seen his car before the swap. It must have had the uber rare rally car suspension.

                        Looks great, you are lucky to have a family member into E30s. You can jack his parts. I wouldn't take cupkit springs, but they do make a car look good.

                        Who doesn't? :)

                        And when is your car going to move under 24 valve power?

                            Cup kits are good to look at. Thats it. I have been in 3 cars with them and hated every one. IMHO you should have went with anything else. Cup kits are for Pussies.

                            But to each their own
