[e36Nater]

I already know everyone's gonna say "don't go the raceland route" but money's tight and my suspension is shot!! Anybody have a thread, or can give me the steps to modify the ultimo coil overs to make them compatible for my 95 m3 coupe!! Thanks!

Can't answer but have you looked at used stuff? New Konis at the sale were around $500, you can reuse your stock springs. If they're somehow shot I'm sure there are lots of mint used takeoffs. What are you going to do about mounts? Will you be reinforcing?

Cheap stuff always costs the most.

If money's tight don't spend what you have on something you know will give you problems? Or go the route you are set on and then later make a thread " don't buy ....."

Would the bilstein kit from a 98 work in my 95???

why would you PM and not share the info publicly so those searching for it in the future can also get the answer they are looking for..?

You want cheap but yet you want to pay someone to make and weld brackets to coilovers? As stated, getting used is cheaper and better than raceland. I've gotten good used oem m3 suspension for $150 shipped from here. Aftermarket used can be had for $300-600.

cause there are a lot of trolls on here, they will just bash any idea of raceland CO, I know they cheap, I know they break etc.... I'm just done with people crapping all over them. so I choose not to share it, but if I come across someone in my same predicament, I'll happily share my experience with racelands on my 95 M3 FWIW I do not use them anymore. I just used them while my GC were getting rebuilt. many people have PM me for this info, and I have always shared it. I shared it one time public, and omg it was like I committed murder... so many people flamed me. so its my choice weather to have that info public or not. all I can say is you get what you pay for....

Regardless of how crappy raceland are, how did u mount the swaybar?

You can actually mount a Non M endlink, from the factory non m sway bars are mounted directly to the control arm vs the M3 directly to the strut. That's what most raceland guys end up doing, you kill suspension feel, but mounting racelands kills it anyway.

FYI OP I'd agree to buying a used, mint, set of konis or bilsteins...
