help on choice of suspension...!!!!!!

[islasian67]

I'm really having a hard time choosing what i want for my 98 m3. Its been about a month and i still havent made a decision. Either springs and shocks, or Ground Control Coilovers track/school. Im mostly in for street and most likely once in a while go to track. I just want the right suspension with good quality. I need help!!! Which one should i go with!?

I am on the same boat man, I am stuck between koni and H&R or the ground control track/school kit, I am leaning towards the GC because of the adjustability, Ive been reading alot bout the drop of the H&R being a little uneven (lower in the back).

The way I break it down

konis $700, H&R $250 thats $950 and your still only getting koni inserts, not the whole housing.

extra 300 bucks you get the track/school kit with whatever spring rates you want.

anyone disagree?

yea from what i heard GC all the way....but as the way you put bout the price it sounds reasonable. if your looking for a full set of konis you can get them at m3motorwerks for around $500 bucks i think? bout i guess im leaning more towards gc now...

I just looked at m3motorwerks, there actually $619.95 for the E36 M3, plus the labor is probably more on the koni inserts than the GC, you gotta take that into consideration too.

I am about to order the ground control track/school kit, its really not much of a price difference from just shocks and springs are it seems to have alot of advantages, some people say coilovers are overkill for a street car, but I say why not, if you go with mild spring rates, it should be ok.

if you have any questions about the GC kit, just send an email to support@ground-control.com, they have been really helpful.
