Eibach's and Koni adjustment = GOOD!

Eibach\'s and Koni adjustment = GOOD!

Finally got around to changing out the springs and adjusted the stock Koni's at the same time. VERY nice improvement in handling. Only regret is not doing this sooner...LOL!!

Any pictures of the job? Might want to think of doing a write up for the "how to" section

Hey Kurt, about time! You've had your Eibachs way longer than I have, and I have had mine on for months!

Did you check to see if you needed an alignment after the install?

I told you so....
Yes, what was the diagnosis regarding alignment?

Did you try different settings with the Koni's and if so which setting did you settle on?

I just bought a 97 B/W GTS and my Eibachs came today. I will snap before and after photos and post. Anyone know how the springs affect the alignemnt?

Boy, I knew that some of these comments were coming!!

I enlisted the help of a very knowledgable person, Rich Carlson to help with this project. To say that there was more to it than I originally thought was an understatement!!

I decided upon 1.5 turns up front and 1.25 turns for the rear shocks after much research. After the suspension was back in place, Rich took me through a time consuming process of bringing the car back to design height. A quick check of the suspension with an inclinometer (sp?) revealed everything was within tolerance. Suspension was then tightened and another check of the suspension (camber I think) revealed .25 % negative, which should be good and not wear the tires.

Car looks and handles so MUCH better!! I would highly recommend this modification - if done right
