Coilover kit on the interweb sells for $850

[conkitchen]

Pimped as a 2002 "kit" However not really sure what the engineer intended for the front strut. Looks weird to me, but the price is in line with budget builders. 

 

but what do I know.

I love the full floating brake line conversion...

The real question is how good are those dampers?  The rears are just regular dampers with springs on adjustable perches.  NOT rear coilovers.  The fronts need to be welded onto existing street tubes...The same as ground control or Ireland.  The difference...Ireland will sell you Bilstein Rabbit shocks for inserts and Ground Control a variety of quality dampers...These??

I'm working through a set of the GC/Konis right now.  They actually are pretty nice.  I know it's more money but it's a way nicer kit.

Is there a part number on the rear shocks they use? They look different than what Koni's website shows for 02 fitment.

Isn’t that photoshopped?

They look like an easy fit. ?

More like hot glued.  

 

The gal in the stars N stripes has a suggestive look on her face. Likely how the hell is this strut gonna fit on my car with no lower mountings. Or maybe it too bookoo for such a lonely girl. Me install you long time G.I.

because they are shorter to accomodate shorter springs.  the stock 02 koni's let the suspension droop WAY too much.  the rear Koni's on my M2 are a race shock from a mustang i think.  i have posted the part number before.

 

the "GEEKO" system here looks like typical stance crowd junk.  main focus is to lower the car.  all other considerations are not relevant.

 

every track/race car I have owned has been on a GC suspension system.  the M2, E30 325is, E36 325is, E36 M3.  GC stuff rocks.

Isn't that what coilovers are made for?

Right?  That's why I have mine.  According to Jay at GC, he has them valved a particular way to get a ride he thinks is best, so they're different than the stock valving.
