    Go thru race performance modified, they send your order to gaz, talk to Jenny or jimmy very helpful. There is an option to use their struts. It was about £200 more. I used their struts because I just wanted to install them nit weld anything myself. The total was about $1400 shipped to my door. Theres another company top end performance in California. I think there kit is around the same I only discovered them after I had mine being built. Took about 2 months cant remember

          Awesome man! How long did it take to get those GAZ coils? I ordered a set for my E30 a month ago, just wondering when they might show up. I love E21's

            Ride height is probably going to change (lower) also spacers in the rear. just ran out of time to work on it this weekend

                  Wheels would look $$ if you just refinished them and got some new emblems on them. So you can get that collectors status

                    Ya rears are mint but fronts are fucked because of 22 years of brake dust and no being cleaned properly

                      How much lower can you go with those coilovers? Wondering as I have the same set up for my E21 just not installed yet.

                      Also props to you for doing this to an E21.

                        wow that's a clean ass e21, you're pretty lucky man! may i ask how much you paid for it? for how clean it is, it makes worth having the a/t. i'm sure you'll convert when the time comes.

                            I have 3 1/2" on the coils in the front to go and 4 1/2" in the rear. If I wanted to I could have the pan on the ground but its a dd so ride height will go slightly lower.

                                Cool. Glad to hear that.

                                How are you finding the ride with the coils in? I went for a normal road spring for a M20 powered E21 for my coils and also want to replace the suspension bushes with poly ones when I finally put my coils in. Just wondering what sort of ride I can expect.

                                Looking forward to seeing it when you go slightly lower.

                                Cheers
