Bmw M3 Coilover Lowering Kit From Ground Control New And Unused!!! on 2040-parts.com
Gilroy, California, US
Up for auction is my --COMPLETE-- Ground Control coilover conversion kit I bought a year ago and never installed. This kit works with the M3's EDC system. If you've done any research, installing just the lowering springs other companies offer is NOT the way to go with this car as it will really mess up the awesome handling. The M3 suspension is designed with a progressive foam bump-stop that works in conjunction with the spring. When lowering spring kit are installed, the car now sits on those progressive stoppers and simply ruins the handing. Ground Control fixed all that with this kit. To top it off, it works with the stock Electronic Dampening Control System (EDC) Buy this kit and increase your M3's handling immensely without sacrificing the EDC or the ride quality! The kit is new and has only been opened to make sure it is all there. Buy this kit from me and spend the unnecessary money of you don't have to! I'm starting this auction at -LESS THAN HALF- the price to get it out of my garage. I don't stiffness of the springs is similar to the oem springs so as to match the oem shocks. If you buy stiffer springs and try to match them with the stock EDC, you will feel like your car handles better because if the jolts and bumps, but indeed it will not. I am a professional spring engineer and have done my homework with this suspension. I took photos of the spring part numbers as well for your reference. Once again, this kit is new and never installed.

Ground Control spring kits are also designed to be used with either stock or aftermarket shocks.

But it was not to be.
