A simple and constant factor in the overall performance and comfort of any suspension is damper quality (the struts and shocks) and spring quality.
Using top of the line Koni dampers, and Eibachs proven linear-rate springs, your E36 will handle with utmost confidence, but have comfort that can at times beat even the factory suspension! But don't worry, just because it rides well doesn't mean it won't perform; quite the contrary: These systems will blow away the handling of most spring and shock combinations all while being smooth and controlled at all times...PLUS... adjustable ride height makes your E36s style reflect your own. You can't beat this system for quality and performance at a great value.

Please give us a outline of your driving habits and we will help select a proven spring rate ideal for your street car.

*Suspension is shipped completely assembled and preadjusted*

2 Koni single adjustable struts

Complete Front Strut Housing - Fabricated from seamless DOM 1026 steel alloy tubing. High clearance swaybar bracket welded on. Powder coated for protection and good looks.

Koni Custom Valved Single Adjustable Front Strut - Valving developed by Ground Control, these custom struts are externally adjustable from underneath the hood, even with the factory strut brace. This strut is prepared for coilover use, and eliminates machining of critical suspension components.

Ground Control Threaded Sleeves - This system is designed to eliminate stress risers caused by machining notches into the strut housing. Unlike other companies that claim superiority by cutting threads into a critical component of the suspension, Ground Control uses engineering common sense to maximize the strength of the suspension.

Ground Control Adjustable Spring Perch - A unique design, that uses an allen head bolt to clamp the single threaded perch into the correct position. No secondary pieces are needed to "jam" the threaded perch into position. This method of clamping onto the threads also prevents sand, grit, and water from getting into the threads, which is a common problem with jam nuts.

2 SHORT Koni single adjustable rear shocks

Custom valved Koni Single Adjustable Rear Shocks - Pre-adjusted to match rear spring rates using our shock dyno. The street/touring is now exclusively the "top-adjust" version, which adjusts from inside the trunk with no tools needed. The rear shocks are custom built and valved by Koni to GC specifications, and are shorter than standard Konis

4 Eibach ERS springs

Eibach Springs - All popular street spring rates are available. Ground Control springs are made by Eibach on German machines both in the USA and in Germany, however all Eibach springs have a lifetime guarantee against sagging, rate change, or any manufacturing or material failure. Lifetime guarantee. Compare!

4 Ground Control bump stops (made in Germany)

Ground Control Bump Stops - We do not just ask you to reuse your stock bump. The stock bump stop is designed for stock suspension we provide a bump stop designed to work with our suspension. These are soft foam, same quality as OEM BMW parts, but made to our specs in Germany. Our race bump stops are even different than our street bump stops.

2 Rear Ride Height Adjusters

Ground Control Rear Ride Height Adjustment Kit - Billet aluminum threaded adjusters bolt on top of the rear control arm.

1 Pair front Camber Plates

Ground Control STREET Camber/Caster Plates - More camber adjustment than stock, mild caster adjustment, Ground Control designed bushings, engraved with calibrated degrees. Every component is anodized or plated, including fasteners. Adds extra travel to avoid excessive bottoming out, this is a very well engineered product. The steering bearing is sealed for long life. This is designed to be used with the factory strut reinforcements.
Camber is quickly adjustable by sliding the mounts, without removing any components from the car. The priority of this design is to allow repeatable alignment changes for fine tuning. Caster is adjustable, when necessary to correct the car, by sliding the plate.
The Ground Control camberplates feature a urethane bushing that carries the side loads only, and does not rotate (no squeek!) and allows for articulation of the shock shaft. This urethane bushing is very under stressed, as the Ground Control design does NOT support the weight of the car on the urethane bushing. Instead, the weight of the car is supported by a completely separate rotating ball bearing, which is also manufactured in Germany.The entire assembly is machined at an angle, just like the stock upper mount. Beware of less expensive machining that bends the strut shaft after installation.

1 Pair rear upper shock mounts

Ground Control Rear Shock Mount - Billet aluminum, urethane bushings, pre assembled. Includes gaskets and reinforcements.
