Could be, altough I remember I had to add 1" custom aluminum spacer between the shock tower and the strut, because it was damn low the car and the back was too high, it looked like a freaking hot rdo my e30. Later they sent other front spring (Eibach) but were the same shit. Never again wanted to buy the Eibach Pro Kit. EVER!

Well, just like with pretty much anything else out there, there are many options. Eibach Pro, Sportline, and then you got your race ERS springs of whatever spring rate / height your heart my desire.

Diego,

Your front coilover setup looks like it will be seriously lacking in wheel travel. What shocks are you using?

[Fair!]

How does the car do against the Si's? Any word yet?

BTW how much lowered are you. I'm surprised by your negative camber. Many lowered folks are running a bit more than that. I wonder if the 318 rear subframe or trailing arms is slightly different.

Me and a co-driver campaigned a E36 328is in STS in 2004 (day1 sucked, but my day 2 times were in the top 10) and I've always thought that the BMW's were undersubscribed in STS. Sure, add the slip and run STX, but if the courses were big and not too tight the BMW had a chance. My co-driver never agreed so we bailed on the project after a year.

I wish you luck in STS, and I think you may have a chance.
