That looks sharp Harold
Are bump stops included F&R or do you reuse oe? What spring rates do you recommend for a dd that has M3 links and bushings yet may never see a track? Can the rear dampers be had with external rebound adjusters ala Dinan?

One more: how close to oe zsp height can you get with this set-up? Not interested in a 'slammed' car.

336F and 672R for a DD. Those will be available in a couple of months, but will add another $250 to the coilover kit. Plus the coilover kit will not be likely be on sale. You can get these to zsp ride height. |

All threaded body struts are gone! Only some original sleeve over style kits remains at the current sale price!

i figured maybe i will try some meaty tires vs low profile tires to eliminate the 1 finger gap down the road =) im running 225/40/18 at the moment, i think 235/40/18 should fix it...

Installed my first set today...looking sharp and I still have about 1" suspension travel before touching the bumpstop in the front. Wheel to fender height is set about 23" all around. Not sure what ground to fender height is though.
Its slightly lower that ZSP....and the customer loves the car! We are just about done with suspension mods (has all M components and now this), next up is M3 sways and we are done with that for now |

I have about an 1" gap b/n the wheel and fender. I'm gonna measure the wheel to fender and post up when I get a chance later. Thanks Matt, good work as always.

^ can you post pics as well...thnx.
Harold: When you said you can get shorter springs, are you saying that clearance (fm bumpstop) won't be compromised. If so will it work for the Tckline true match as well? |

if you lower the car (shorter springs or otherwise), you will reduce travel. There isn't a way around that with a traditional type strut design. Though you might be able to raise the top mount (giving the bump stop more room). But you'd need to remove the factory strut braces to make room for that.

Wow, looks like a great kit with good prices too. If my car was still stock I'd probably get this. The only thing is it's not the easiest thing to adjust the rear shocks. Regardless, looks like a good kit!

Could you use the external adjustable Konis that Harold can find sometimes?
