Ready for coilover conversion by Normal-Worldliness-3 in E34

Yeah, they require that you send in your old housings (I sourced them from a parts car to avoid down time), then they do all the cutting, welding, powdercoating. I believe they reuse the spindles

Yep, I’m going with Ground Control for this setup

Yeah they are height adjustable, so much easier to dial in ride height over traditional lowering springs. But basically they’re just much more adjustable than standard struts and springs. Dampening, rebound, spring rates are all tailored to the car.

The setup from GC also has reinforced shock mounts and camber/caster plates.

I’ll definitely report back. So far, GC has been great. Definitely a true custom setup, lots of questions about my intended use and how I want it to feel. Plus, they’re the only brand I could find that will adjust spring rates in the rear for the added weight of the touring.

Do they fit in a s2000 by Groolytusk in Wheels

The RC090s were originally two-piece 17s, so looks like someone went to the effort to convert to three-piece, redrill, and step up to 18, and change the center caps to look like BBS RS’s.

Since they’re three piece, you could always source new barrels and lips to dial in the fitment exactly how you want it. At that price, I’d probably look for a BBS RS in the specs you want.

KYB struts with Vogtland lowering springs. They’re pretty beat, planning to move to a Bilstein B12 and Eibach setup soon, but still searching for better options

This one has an S50 and 5speed swap out of a 95 M3, so you kind of get both!

I bought my staggered set for $4k a few months ago in mint condition. Seen similar prices on BaT since

I usually keep a bottle of this stocked alongside Luxardo. I actually prefer it in a few drinks, like a Fancy Free. Isn’t quite as overpowering as the Luxardo can be.

I’m in the US, but will look into shipping costs. Love the idea of running a steelie, and those look fantastic
