 E36 raceland coilovers on 318TI
I have a set of these on a 318TI They were originaly destined for my 94 318IS. Fronts are exactly the same as a regular E36 but have coil springs on an adjustable shock tube and bolt on as original. I had to ty-rap the brake sensor/hose lines to the shock body. For the rears, the shock had an overall length longer than the original TI shock but had a similar compressed length. The spring and adjustable perch was stock at full length and lowered the car 2 inches bottomed out. It drives very nice and I would recommend this to any novice driver who would like an upgrade from stock with lowering capabilities. They lowered the car nicely. As far as my 318IS, I kept the stock springs and installed Bilstein shocks. Many people on this forum say bad things about budget coilovers without ever installing them. (You get what you pay for, they say) Well where has manufacturing gone lately. (China)....... Well you get what you pay for otherwise... High cost parts(name brand) sub-manufactured overseas anyways with a nice sticker to put on your side window. I would gladly have someone come to FLorida to compare this setup to stock. IT is MUCH better than stock at $278 shipped. |
