I ordered these on a Sunday and I had to communicate with mod bargains team to get my shipping address changed, I wound up speaking with 3 representatives total, all of which were very helpful. I needed them for a track day that weekend and they worked with me to get them shipped out in time.
I finished installing these on my 1993 325is minutes before the hpde event, didnt even get to test it out before I headed over. I am BLOWN AWAY at how much better my car handles!!!! It's on rails now, the ride is VERY good for being coilovers, it'll bounce once and dampen out, its a very well balanced package. On track they made everything 100X better than stock. Braking, acceleration, turn in, road holding, and predictability were all a massive improvement. I will say it is not as firm as you would optimally want for pure track use, but for a trackable street car, I couldnt ask for a better setup. Car feels much better sideways as well. I have the front lowered 19 mm on the sleeve, it looks low, doesnt rub, and I have not had it scrape on anything yet, speed bumps are not even an issue.
2 notes for installation
first, top hats are required so either order some or get a spring compression tool (hopefully you have access to an impact wrench so you dont have to spend 10 years to tighten it manually like I did) the stock front top strut bolt is a 22mm and you'll need a good set of vice grips to hold the shaft steady once youve loosened the spring to get the top hat off.
second, the stock rear springs were more difficult than expected to remove, I suggest loostening the sway bar, compressing the springs, and using a pry bar with a lot of patience.
Other than that, instructions were good, and the new components were a breeze to install
Very happy with my purchase, Solowerks nailed it!!!
