Re: Vorshlag 1991 BMW 318is
I took a lot of pictures of the suspension this weekend. AST coilover kit is almost too pretty for the car. The front inserts are "like buttah". The threaded collar that slips over the body doubles as the gland nut for the insert. Really slick design.
Bad news....I didn't ask AST what size springs to run, naturally assuming 60mm. The threaded collar is actually bigger than that to clear the 52mm strut body so I had to order 2.5" springs for it.
One thing is for sure. Once you put stiff springs on you feel every single 200k mile bushing on the car. Time for some subframe and diff bushings at a minimum.
