Default Randland coilovers?

Anyone tried to use these? There site say they will not fit the ti. But ive seen people put normal e36 spring on these cars before. Thanks for the info...

if you are talking about raceland coilovers don't waste your money. spend the extra cash and get something thats made for the ti. currently I'm running koni adjustables front and rear with h&r springs. paid $600 for all of it and i couldn't be happier.

How much does your setup lower the car?

I have them on my TI and they work great. If you are looking for a lowered stance and don't track the car it would be ridiculous to spend a thousand dollars or so for a fancy shock absorber set up. You will never see the benefit of a high end coilover set up just driving your car back and forth to work. If you plan on taking the car to the track and racing it then that would be a different story...

Which coilovers do you have? The green or red raceland?. My car is a pos. And all the shocks are blown. So i dont want to put alot of money into it. And raceland is cheap. Can you post pictures of what the car looks like? Thanks.
