    Say what now? O_o It's the exact opposite for me.

    Look at my sig: the front can go down another inch and the rear is maxed out (and not really low).

    Yes, it's for my E36... I mounted them yesterday, they are turned all the way down and I just tuck the tire a little bittle How much will they drop once the springs settles?

    The rear are very low tho

    The general style discussion forum, as well as a place to post your car, or any car for that matter.


    (im not home so i cant post pics) but thats with around 1" of thread left on the front. the front looks higher than it is. my subframe is almost on the ground.

    For the rear, I took the adjuster out so its just the spring. Its low enough for me.

    I cut the bumpstops in half for the front, apparently it helps with the bounce. I have yet to drive with the bumpstops cut yet.
    I'm literally sitting on the bumpstops on mine and it's not that bad (only over certain surfaces/series of dips) .., but I'm scared if I cut them, I'm gonna destroy the fenders the first time I go over a bump while turning because there is literally a couple mm between my tire and fender.

    I've had mine for the better part of 10K miles and they're great for what you pay. Ride is slightly firm, no bounce, and they go reasonably low on my application. I've heard that the BMW and older VW apps go much much lower.

    FWIW, FK just released the "street" series that's pretty much identical in content to these, at a sreet price of $500 plus shipping. IMO if they weren't badged FK they would be a good bit cheaper...people would be all over a $350 or $400 FK system. Cheap does not in this case = crap.
