pro dragster status: bilstein sports + stock springs

[Kershaw]

awww yeah! i wanted to see if this was a viable set up, because i didnt want to give up the bilsteins. but the bmp/h&r springs they were paired with were crap. car rode really rough. excessively rough. only the rear was done, because i did the rear subframe bushings.

anyway, it seems like going back to full stock is the only option. im going to ride around like this for a while though. haha.

ROFL! ... that reminds me when I put my ETA from H&R Race + BIli Sports to Stock iS

That is not rough, my lady bitches about my coilovers ALL DAY. Stock hight=fail

Get a pillow and ride low

Get the ground-control.com setup, you will not be unhappy. You can also pick you spring rate. Don't ask about my rate, I forgot...all I said to GC was make them super stiff.

the springs were rusted and crap. im sure with new h&rs the car would ride nice. it was by far, the roughest ride i'd ever been in.

That would be fun as a GC employee...'yeah, uh, just hooked you up with some 4" 1500lb/in springs, you should be good brah.'

Wouldn't running the sports on stock springs cause them to blow?

[Kershaw]

cause the bilsteins to blow?

no.

it might over dampen the stock springs though.

[KillaCams]

Interesting, someone told me before running billy sports on stock springs will make them blow, good to know they wont!

If you have the money, go with the GC coilover kit. I have it with my bilstein sports and GC camber plates and i absolutely love them. I'm running 525 front/ 875 rear with stock valving on the bilsteins. It is a bit stiff for the road but it is awesome for autocross.

Dude, do you see that car? Needs a lot more work before coil-overs...

this e30 is going back to a full stock suspension either this weekend or next.
