    As it sits currently. The rear springs are a bit too long. I couldn't even put an adjuster in there without it being all jacked up, so shorter springs are in order.

      What are the specs on your rear spring? I have a 2.5 x 6 x 650 rear and was thinking it may be too tall. I already had to buy a 4" front spring to keep it from being 4X4.

        I believe they are 2.5 x 6 x 550. I'm not sure which I'm going to get to replace it yet though. I want to measure out the difference with the adjuster in there.

          Hyperco is what you want to look at. I had 6" in front and found hyperco 4" springs in 500lbs. got the pair shipped for 120.00

            Just wanted to mention that this setup with Ht-10 front pads is amazing on track. The brakes had no hint of fade. 235/40/17 BFG R1's fit perfectly with 5mm spacers in the front. So much fun on track!!

            edit: Oh and ABS was working without any issues running spaced e30 rear sensors and e36 front sensors spliced into e30 connectors.

              It's hard to see your ride height/wheel centering with the shadowing. It sounds like everything went really well

                Here's a couple side pictures. Everything did turn out pretty well, I'm very happy with the braking performance. I just need to get my alignment squared away for the next track event in two weeks!





                And the splitter I made this weekend :D

                      Did you buy the front housing/inserts with coil overs complete from GC or just the sleeves/springs then shortened the housing yourself ?

                        They are the GC housings with the special shortened struts.

                          Just a heads up. I will be parting out my car in the next couple weeks to build a spec e30 so if you're interested in parts, let me know!
