Hey guys. I was looking at the TRM coilovers, they have E36-E46 fitments, good reviews, different spring rates available, front camber plates, rear mounts, 1 year warranty, and rebuilding/revalving available. Here is a link to TRM- http://www.racersmarket.net/index.php?page=shop.browse&category_id=59&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=93&vmcchk=1&Itemid=93

I am going to be buying a set for my E36 track car project. In my research I found that someone on BF just started a group buy for these. If he gets 5 we get 10% off, 10+ is 15% off. So I thought I would share the info here. It would be nice to get 15% off, and help out anyone else looking to try something different.:biggrin = http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1730889

I did a track weekend in a TRM coilover equipped E36, I was impressed. Very good deal for the quality of the kit and it is better than anything near its price range. Buying a set for my track rat in the near future.

BTW, they are mostly out of the E36 fitment and have a few E46 left if anyone is on the fence.

I purchased the TRMs for my E36 track car project. I received them tues, installed weds, very happy. They look great, have alot of adjustment, and handle awesome. I cant wait to get them on the track in the spring. I was very suprised at how they felt on the street with the very stiff spring rates (this is not my daily, I wouldnt use for everyday driving). It was stiff, but not like I thought it would be.

Hey Dane. They offer a few different rates, but they recommend- 670 front / 890 rear (what I have). They also recommend removing the rear sway bar, since the springs are that stiff. The bodies are threaded all the way into the mounts so you actually adjust ride height through the bodies not the spring collars. The spring collars are just used to preload the springs. I used the specs on the supplied set-up sheet to start. They could go much lower or higher etc. I will update after I use them for a while, and again after a track day.
