            Its nearly the same price to get the GC conversion kit, have someone weld the adjusters on for you, etc. And the only thing you dont get is shitty adjustable shocks and camber plates.

            Koni + GC = best bang for buck coilover wise imo. If you want even easier just do HR Race + billie sports, its pretty much what 50% of r3v runs, without issue.

              Personally I'm a big fan of the the DIY coilover like GC or TC Kline.

                    Billie sports and Eibach springs ... rides great, sits perfectly.

                      Kinda what I am running now, H&R E36 M3 Race + Stock Koni, the front low is exactly where I wanna be, the rear is a little high, but I can live with it. I need to fix camber. The Camber plates I was looking at for the front was half the cost of the CX and Megans, I though about just going that route, and buying the tabs for the rear. But if they are shit, and I don't really need the adjustability, I'll stay away, and just go with camber kits.

                      What camber plates/tabs would you go with, Looking at Garagistic tabs for the rear, or the Bavarian Autosport ones. Leaning towards the Garagistic though. and one of these kits for the front, just not sure which one is the best to go with.



                      anyone got any better suggestions, speak up!

                        Garagistics weld in adjusters are perfectly fine.
