pleeeeeeease never use the word "epic" or "fail", in my thread, i fuking hate those words, lol
and kauai, thats prob not the best way to run them, but seeing as the bottom of the spring as around the strut housing its possible that if you hit a bump quick enough the spring could shift back and forth, i cant see it breaking anything, but never having the spring in the same angle, if it shifts at all, to the top of the strut might put excess wear on the spring and def the strut itself.
why wont the sleeve fit over?

i really dont think thats going to make ur car any lower...but maybe thats just me
the sleeve doesnt fit over the strut, even after removing the cap...
i see your point
i may have to put my lowering spring back on lol
my reasoning was that it was equivalent to coils with removed perches
but i can see why thats not totallly true
so now i guess the issue is the seating of the spring?

yea, if you look at the perch that comes with the sleeve, its prob fitted directly to the spring, which stops it from moving around. i was gonna do the same thing u just did, but came to the conclusion i just told you, lol
and its weird the sleeve doesnt fit, sure the product is protege specific?

Yeah, there 2" sleeves which is exactly whats in skunk2's and ground controls. I know several E30 owners use these plus hypercoils and have great results

akis that link justfor the spring, or is it the whole sleeve set up? and would u know the height and spring rate of the spring? cuz thatd pretty damn cheap i might cop that of it can make me lower lol

The thing is your struts have lower seat designed for 5" springs. Not 2.5". This there isnt a proper seat for the spring.

Those are for the whole kit, but all you want is the sleeves. Those coils are junk. Do not use them.
