Brand new BMW catches on fire today at parking lot.

was that guy speaking tagalog?

Quick question: will e36 GC coilovers fit an e30? The springs should be the same, rear adjusters shouldn't really matter, I'm mainly wondering if the front adjuster/top hat is different.

top hat is universal. the strut mounts maybe the same as the e30, or they may not.

you can buy the setup, run different front strut inserts, use the top hat, spring, and adjuster on the front with camber plates or the oem strut mounts.

rear could use the same rear shocks as the e36 i believe, as well as the springs and adjusters.

you might want to get the e30 rear top hat (white plastic)

What are they worth to you (sincere question)?

Do you know how much the e30 rear top hat is? I'd probably run them with Camaro KYB rear shocks, my current front struts (JOM's) and stock strut mounts. They're 6" 450# all around.

not too sure, mine came with my gc kit

[Pantless Spency]

theres actually alot in this area.
my gf's family is spread out along 80 pretty much, a few houses in Vallejo, used to be one in cordelia, one in suisun, her place in vacaville, and then one other place all the way in Lincoln.


i go to Napa valley college and a ton of Filipinos from American canyon and Vallejo go there. i would say there at least 20% of the college population.

If I could get the other parts needed to fit them for < $100 I would pay $6-700 depending on spring rates, mileage, and what not. Only because it would be a bolt on GC setup. That is me.

I already have what I want to do for my suspension
-Custom valved Bilsteins
-GC coilover conversion, undecided on spring rates (thinking 500/700 or 450/650)
-m3 sway bar endlinks
-New rubber all around, poly in some
-bigger sways

billies and gc conversion are on the top of my list.

Hey spency you never came over today.

ah i totally forgot to tell you,
my friend canceled because the owner told him last minute it was a salvaged title.
