        Currently I am on H&R springs, cut a half coil and blistein shocks. I got the DIY camber arms and now I'm looking for adjustable rear toe arms and front camber plates made by RDMTEK (out of production-super rare).
        Here's my only side shots atm:

          I know I am digging up an old thread here, but I need some help haha.

          I am about to purchase the raceland coilovers and such so I can do the front...

          But what EXACTLY should I do for the rear? Am I able to use the raceland coilovers or not? Because I see that you guys are running different shocks on the rear,

          Help? More precisely what exactly are you guys running on the rear, so that I know what to purchase!

          Cheers

                  We never got the car totally dialed on the racelands. It worked, but never as good as I had hoped. I think in an ideal world, I would have made some kind of custom upper strut mount and not run any inboard spring, just the coilover spring like you would on a normal car. The rear is easy, use a Saab 900 (or 90 elsewhere) rear shock, cut the factory spring, or use the coilover spring, you'll be able to get as low as you want and it rides great.

                  Ours is in the process of going to air ride, it's mostly done, but as with all of the other suspension related things on this car, it hasnt been easy... It still has the raceland struts up front and the saab shocks in the rear, they get plenty low.

                    i want to change my front shocks, but can't decide what to choose... i was wondering about getting struts for e36, not coilovers, will they work and are they shorter like the coilovers??

                                Hey guys,
                                Sorry for gravedigging but I'm wondering if anyone has access to these strut mounts? Maybe we can see if they'd fit for our vehicles w little modification to the upper plate.
