However $500+ is alot of money to throw around for the average college paying rent while attending a 4 year University. So what I meant was; since "a lot of money" is involved, I would assume another $97 bucks for some great quality RSMs wouldn't dent one's wallet much further than it would already be dented, being that $500+ has been spent prior.

The RD Sport is a proper kit, they just had to get rid of em.

I know that the RD kit is legit, I'm just saying, if you are looking to get a kicka** deal on suspension, you usually aren't looking to drop serious cash on RSMs. You can get the whole understeer suspension install kit for the same amount of money.

Good point, I guess I saw the GC RSMs as a heck of a deal after checking out the other hardcore ones that were $150-$200.

Yes, that would be great help. I'll stop by my job tomorrow, and see if I can use their phone also. The total cost of me buying the parts separately is gonna run me for $700. This kit will save me $300. Please give him my email if I don't get in contact with him:

Don't forget the underscore.

THANK YOU!!!

[elchicano]

[Maverix]

Yes sir I have. And the only dumb questions are the ones that aren't asked.

Yeah dude for real. I'm in college, aka poor. I don't have time to get a job, so I'm using my extra weekly food money to save up for things for this damn car lol.

The front is about right, but the rear is too tucked IMO. Ride quality is better than sports @145K miles on them.
But anyway, piccie time (taken from a phone, so sorry about quality).

That's why, $395 or not, any lowering spring/shock kit other than billy sports/H&R Race look ridiculous. They do the same thing to the coupe/sedan E36's, slam the rear and the front is sky high. I went with the races and never looked back.

You could stack another set of rear spring pads, do the 15mm's and it will look tons better.

Got the 318ti RDSport kit installed on my Z3. Here's how it looks



The front is perfect, the rear could be lower: I'll eventually replace the spring pads with lower ones on pick up some H&R. It could also be the 16" tires.

All and all I'm very pleased with the results.

My rear isn't slammed?

+1 Just what I expected

Also +1 to BMWhatchback's take... The rear isn't slammed (nor did I want it that way...) and the front is just right... This set-up plus the Eibach swaybars is just what I wanted, with the drop and improved handling this car is tight...
