When measuring ride height on a 911, it’s common, using a tape measure, to measure from the ground past the center cap on the wheel, to the fender lip. When people give those numbers (in inches or mm, front and rear), everyone knows exactly how high the cars sits while still. The same procedure may prove useful when measuring a 202. That would tell someone where euro spec springs sit in relation to U.S. springs, H&Rs, Vogtlands, or anything else. That may also help those with questions about pads and how much springs settle.

Do they have any coil over set up for the c36?? i love the coil overs because i love how they feel on my E36. I dont think a spring & shocks set up gets better than coil overs. I was looking @ the KW but they r a little pricy! what about the D2?? I was told it only can fit on the c280 & not the C36. Isnt both cars the same body? In the BMW world anything that fit the regular 3 series suspension wise fit the M3's!! Please explain. Thanks in advance

Thanks. Also, I wanted to get my short list together for shocks to pair with it. Obviously there are the two versions of bilsteins. Is there just one oem choice or is there an alt version that should/could be paired with the lower e55 springs? Also I noticed that the h&r kit used koni yellows. Although I haven't read much about people using the konis. Is/are there another brand(s) that I am still missing?
