Stock suspension all around, people? C'mon, let's see your rides!

Yep, stock.......until I get some $$ for the suspension I want. My car is sleeping for the winter. Winter blows!!!

Edit: SALT BLOWS

For me, at the moment, yes, still stock. Still putting my plans together....

Stock front, worn out CABs, needs a new rack. The rear has BMW OEM M-Tech Bilsteins. I'll be replacing some parts after Xmas, hope Santa brings what I asked for!

If you do a little search, this has been done before on this forum. A huge listing of suspension setups.

Can't find this list you speak of...unless I can't use the search button right. Most likely thats the case.

Should be stickied then. I'll see if I can find it, but vbulletin searching in general is pretty poor, IMO.

I agree. I always have to search the entire site to find what I'm looking for. There is so much great info here that it can be difficult to sort it out.

Still waiting to see this "list". If in fact there is a previous thread that's great, but If not it needs to be done. I will be doing my suspension soon and a thread dedicated to everyone's setups would help make my decision, and the decisions of others easier. Until then I guess there's always r3vlimited. They have a sick suspension setup thread.

Eibach springs with Koni adjustables and Treehouse Racing CABs. Don't particularly care for the Eibachs, but they aren't horrible. A little too soft initially, I guess that whole progressive spring rate thing is to blame. I ended up putting thicker spring pads in the back as well, just to boost it up a tad. Oh, a front strut bar.

k-sport coilovers, full adjustable

rock hard kit.

Thats sweet. Im on the fence about what springs to get. IE stage 3s, Eibachs or H&R race springs, and then theres GC coilovers...I dunno

Bilstein B12 kit, full rebush using OE parts except for front offset poly control arm bushes. Car drives and rides really well, springs are a little soft for track use though.

Stock BBS crossposkes with 205/55R15 Michelin PE2s, needs 205/50s really IMO.

stock e30 m3 springs, bilstein sports, new front strut mounts, e46 rear shock mounts, new control arms with e30 m3 offset LCABs. ... and a lot of snow.
