    Anybody have pics of their install of these bad boys on their e30's? I'm literally about to order mine and I just wanna see what it looks like altogether fronts and rears.

    So am I. Keep an eye out for a bright orange E21 sideways around Bris Vegas

    Speaking from an Australian viewpoint as iField and I are from Aus, the price on Broadways will run out a fair bit more than BCs though esp including shipping. I am pretty keen on the Broadways, but it is a bit more of a hit on the wallet. E.g. BC's around $1200AU local, then get the welding done etc and install maybe $300?. So $1500 total.
    Whereas BWS are $1700US, plus shipping maybe $300? then welding and install maybe $300? so you're at about $2300 instead of $1500. Shipping may come down, so may install and welding if you do yourself, so it may only work out a few hundred more but it is horses for courses.

    i kind of want BWS just cause BWS lol :-/

    Have you considered bagging it? My setup was less than GC's and only a little more than BC's.

    I'm anxious to give mine a try, I think I'll probably find a happy medium somewhere in the middle because the roads near where I live are a little rough.

    Yeah if these were available when I was buying I almost certainly would've bought them. I'm pretty sure I actually enquired about them on the Broadway Static thread haha I think the BCs will do the job though.

    As a side note it still blows me away how many helpful people there are on this forum. So many websites I use are filled with elitism and condescension but S|W just seems to demand a great deal more respect from its members. Thanks to everyone for the help, I look forward to showing you guys what I've done with my car.

    contact this guy, get coilovers,

    THEN:


    read THOROUGHLY and purchase the correct shocks.
    BAM. 450/650 (optional) spring rate, adjustable shocks, more lows then you can handle, no welding required, and all for less then 1k.

    evidence (and i love the ride quality, as does everyone that rides along)


    (fenders have been dealt with(this is at the bottom of the adjuster on a 6" spring, no camber plates))

    Try buying E21 coilovers in Australia! Building GCs are the best option that can see. What did you end up going with? Were are you in OZ?
