I'm posting this in the California (Bay area) section since I'd rather not deal with shipping, but I'm willing to ship for more.

Ground Control Track/school coilovers for E36 M3
- ~10k miles. No crashes/coilbind
- Front struts are "kicked" and EXTRA short
- Rears are also EXTRA short and externally adjustable
- 440F/550R GC/Eibach springs
- Rear spring perches (some scratches, but works fine) + upper mounting "cones"
- Bump stops, top spring perch, adjuster knob, stickers.
- TC Kline RSM

These are a custom ordered set. They are shorter than the normal shortened dampers that normally come with the GC track/school kit. This reduces droop and doesn't require the modified RSM that GC has been using lately. The decreased droop reduces the free play in the springs when the wheels are off the ground. This also allows the dampers to work with the "middle" of the available travel.

With a 1" drop, there is approximately 1/4" free play, compared to almost 1" with the normal setup. The dampers may also have an extra short housing (I haven't compared to a regular setup), which would give you more suspension travel (or allow you to lower more). In the attached pic, the position of the spring perches gave roughly around ~0.8" drop in the front (on 6" springs), so you can imagine how much more you can lower the front

This kit normally sells for $1489 + $100 for external adjustable + kicked struts + extra short dampers + TC Kline RSM = $$$

$1250 obo

Everything is in good condition. The rear spring perches have some scratches. GC tells me that the struts are kicked since they lack the "45" stamped into th strut housing. I attached a pic of the amount of clearance using a 7.5 rim with 225/45/17. One of the upper spring perches is missing in the pic, but I should be able to find it. You will only need this if you are using the stock strut hats (shame on you if you plan to :D).

Seems like very little clearance considering your using a 7.5" rim with a 225 on it?

Thanks. This is a pretty sweet setup that you don't often see due to the special order. I think that the regular GC coilovers are almost 2" longer.

I don't have any exact numbers, but I think that there is about 0.5" of clearance. If that is the case, then 235s should fit no problem and 245s might fit (but it would be really close if it did).

Also depends on offset... And many people do use spacers up front anyways.

Sorry, not interested in trades at this time unless your shocks are JRZ or Moton (I'll settle for Ohlin) :D.
