    Koni, GC set up doesn't look correct

    I just bought a 95 M3 with an LS 3 swapped in for track duty. Here is a photo of the front and I have never seem a loose spring like this. Wondering if anyone gas? the builder of the car says it's sorted by a reputable shop?

    It looks like either the Eibach spring isn’t long enough, or it should have a helper spring in there to fill the gap when the suspension is unloaded, or BOTH!

    Does the rear also have Eibach springs? Did they put the rear springs in the front by mistake? The rear springs would be in place with height adjusters, if that’s the case.

    Or, maybe they didn’t use (or have) the rear height adjusters, so used the longer front springs in the rear, and the shorter springs in front?

    The rear looks good and the springs are totally different. I have contacted GC but no response yet. Next I will contact the shop that set it up and see if they have an answer.
