i would imagine wheel bearing tolerances or something. just the fact that the spindles are not up to spec.

^^ my guess but interested in reasoning

Talk him down and go for it dude.
And give a good honest review after. You never know, it could be the biggest thing to hit the e30 market.. Everyone is just too sissy to try thinking it's going to snap in half.

too bad on their website there are none for E30

They are full on coilovers. Look at the rears...

Without proper bracing you'll punch a hole through your shocktowers and R3V into a busload of orphans.

Because this is R3V they won't be installed properly...

I thought you meant there was something actually wrong with them quality wise

In his ad he says the kit comes with both types, true coil over rear and separated spring/shock

[BraveUlysses]

yeah, that doesn't sound right at all.

[karlorado]

ebay coils are ebay

The guy selling them is one of my friends roomates. ive seen them in person, they appear to be fairly good quality, he said they are custom made by selex for the e30 but when he recieved them he found out that the body/frame must be cut/notched because the rear full body type coilover wouldnt clear, so he contacted selex and they sent him the regular seperated spring/shock style. This is just what my friend that lives with him told me when i asked about them, i am somewhat contemplating buying them.

for the record, its a stupid internet myth that the coilovers will blow through the strut tower, there are plenty of guys in europe that run full body coilovers in the rear with the stock tower. Not saying i would run them without a little bit of boxing of the tower but by the time you cut/notch the frame to fit them it wouldnt be much more work to plate around the strut tower and throw a brace in there. Honestly i would be more concerned about the lower shock mount taking a beating.
But the fact that they are "custom made" and no one has any experience with them on an e30 nor is there many reviews for them on other cars makes me very weary to buy them, might just stick with the tried and true gc setup.
