Carl Nelson Springs

[bmw2800cs]

I've been meaning to post a picture of my car after installing the Carl Nelson springs - really like the stance now. Thanks Carl Nelson (can someone @ sign him, I don't know his username) and @sfdon for the install, it looks and drives great! Also thanks for the emergency surgery to replace my alternator SFDon when there were no alternators to be found, +1 to Don's medals!

Nice look! So, what changes here? Does the front come down some, what an inch? Next project for me, is to replace front struts with these NOS Koni adjustable units I picked up, couple years ago. So, perhaps a good time to do springs? How does it drive now? Thanks, Mike

Careful Glenn, you are starting to become a regular here!

Mike,, if you do your springs, I would also have on hand the 4 rubber shims that go between the spring and strut. Maybe a pair of negative camber plates solid ones, not the adjustable ones Call me about these

Thanks, Rick

Looks great. What size wheels and tires are you using?

this is the stance the coupe should have been born with.

Hey Mike, yeah, the back was a little low already (worn springs) so the back likely stayed the same and the front came down a little. I have Bilstein shocks - a little stiff but otherwise it rides really nice, especially on the freeway.

205 55 16 in front and 225 50 16 in back.
