anyone know a spot where I can get my konis revalved?

I lowered the 6 to where I want it but now its a bit too stiff

we might be able to. I'll double check with our damper department tomorrow morning.

Have you contacted Koni yet? If not, I have a direct contact there that I can ask if they revalve locally.

havent contacted them yet mostly because they say itll take them at least 6 weeks and I cant have the car down for that long.

I'm currently using stock koni yellows with 700lb springs all around, probably going to step the front up to 750 soon

This 86 eS/iS I have been putting together is going to be a very nice car for somebody. Just finishing up a complete front end overhaul... Struts, ball joints, M3 control arm bushings, tierods, hubs with bearings, M3 springs, rotors, and pads.

Moving on to the rear next! Already did the IE subframe and trailing arm bushings. Now to install new wheel bearings, rear shocks, rear shock mounts if needed, and E30 M3 springs. I think the rear brakes are OK but I'll do them if I need to!

Goal is to build the ultimate DD E30 for somebody.

eS with 2.5 swap done right. It's getting a port/polish head in a couple weeks too.

[mcr_driver]

Define right for clarification?

[2mAn]

yea that can either mean "I" pistons and 885 head or eta bottom and 731 head. both would be right IMO

i took a chance at trying and bought a rebuild kit off pelican...was worried i would mess up the order of the tumblers or something but i have a brand new door lock now! crisp as helllll. all the instructions were in german though...
