E30 Coilovers - What do?

This is the type of Gewinde what brand?

Don't think they have a brand as such, apparently they're still in the process of setting up the company/website etc. There's a link to them directly under the picture in the OP if you want to take a look at them

If you're going to be daily driving, buy something appropriate for some spirited daily fucking driving.

Hah that's pretty much all I need them for, so realistically these should do the job fine I think. Certainly not planning on throwing my beloved beemer sideways into a tyre wall.

Just be realistic with your usage. Too many idiots are like, "OMG I WANT TO DRIFT I NEED 9000KG SPRING RATES" and end up killing any and all passangers who try to ride with them.

I fell into that trap. If you're going to be daily driving, buy something appropriate for some spirited daily fucking driving.

Wow, thanks for all the responses! I had no idea about the strut tower weakness, I was planning on doing the coilover conversion at the rear but I'll give that a miss! And yeah Ground Controls would be nice but they're a bit of a nightmare to buy in my part of the world, so the next best thing seem to be setups like this. I think I will end up going with these, just the whole "eBay stigma" made me a little uneasy. Anyone else know of anything I should be wary of?

"I would advise you the go with our free coilover conversion in the rear instead of the separated shocks/springs in the rear. "

Ah, didn't read the second post. Original picture doesn't look like it's setway. up that

[Stephen]

Thats what i'm sayin. You can really only do that with a gnarly cage

[Average_Jerk]

Lol,not unless you want a collapsed shock tower....

lol very true. and also on the conversion you have to run narrow high offset wheels cuase they stuff the spring at the bottom.

[Francois Dillinger]

where do you see that?

[Stephen]

uhh why do they recommend converting the rear to true coilover?

dont do that.

Out of curiousity, why are you not interested in Ground Control?

my guess is that it's because he's in ausjailia.

the company looks like they do basically the same thing as GC would. i would give them a visit if they are close enough and tell them your goals to see what they can do.
