Im looking at making an order for the GC Coilovers for my car this week, its a 1995 530i.

MPACT is sold out
Sport Compact Warehouse I guess has some, they dont say anything about them being sold out.

Is there anyone else out there that has these?

from what I have heard, they are discontinued. Give me a couple weeks and I'll maybe we can get a groupe buy from GC so they will build us some. If we show the intrest with our numbers you never know what could happen. I dont get paid for a couple weeks though. I want some and have other things I wanted to get first, but if getting them now with a goupe is the only way then I'm down.

Well, Im going to call Sports Compact Warehouse tommorow, they have them listed for $380.
Ive read they were Discontinued, which is why Im cautious on just ordering them from this company and finding out they dont have them.

Id be down for a group buy depending on who shows interest within the next month...and I kinda want to get the Koni Adjustables, so any money saved and more time will allow this to happen.

Maybe we could do a group buy for the GC's and Koni's...

Deffinitely. I want Koni's with mine as well. $380 really? I thought they were $600 or so for the perches and another $600 for the Koni's roughly. I want camber plates as well but I think that will bring the price up to much for me right now. Let me know what they say when you call. If it's $380 for fronts and rears and they have a few sets left I want some.

Mpact motorsports is owned by one of the owners of GC I believe... the sets have to be custom made so noone will have any in stock. Best bet is to do it through Mpact.

you have to get in touch with Dale at ground control, thats the only way your gonna get a set. He owns m-pact, so call them up and see if they can help you.

I called Dale today, they will make them.

Now I just need the Konis.

Do you need the Koni's in order for them to make them? Or can I get them made now for the Koni's and then have them put on later? The reason I ask is because I have other things I need to spend my money on. I can spare $300 some odd dollars (how much exactly is he charging for them btw) so that they can get them done with yours instead of risking the chance they wont make them later, but I dont want to spend the other $600 + at the moment for the koni's because my bilstiens are just fine and I need to get new tires, rear subframe bushings, and a bunch of other stuff.

My set came with instructions for Bilstein and Koni's. You shouldn't have any trouble with either.

He said you Need Koni's, though I dont think you need them right away to order the coilovers.

Im in the same boat as you, and will spend the money on new shocks/struts later.

He will ask for the overall Diameter of the thickest or the part above the perch on yor struts you have right now.

Im not sure how much they will cost, it was a short phone call, and Dale told me to call back when I have the O.D. of the front Struts.

if your planning on getting koni's, your struts will be the same diameter as the ones i will get correct. You want koni adjustables right? If so can you post the diameter and tell Dale when you call him back to make 2 sets and I will call to confirm it.
