Hey everyone

Would like to request some ride height pic's of peoples e30's with the gaz coilovers installed and how much you have lowered by ect, still undecided on whether i wish to pick up a set of these. If i do they will be the GHA ones not the gold. Anyways post up your pics!

Ps they would be going on a series one chromie so some pics of chromies would be nice but beggars cant be choosers!

Cheers

Cool keep em coming!


Are they 16X9 all round ross? Did you have much fitment issues on the front with the coilover rubbing or are the borbet's offset decent enough? The genuine borbets in staggered fitment are pretty good price these days, cheap enough not to buy replica's

yep all 16x9s
on a standard car I had no problems fitting them straight on
it took alot of working out space wise as it wasn't just the coilovers I had to deal with
I had a pair of 2 piece brake discs I was going to put on they had to be spaced correctly
then I've also got a pair of keris wms 4 pots on the front which wouldn't fit behind borbets
so I had to space the discs about 6 mm then 20mm spacers on the wheels

so after clearing the brake problem the coilovers wernt a problem

Hello mate, are your coilovers wound down as far as they go or is there plenty still to go?

Ive got a set of 15"BBS RM's and was looking a gaz, but wondering if they'd go low enough
