Default GC Street Coilover Installation

In my e30 with GC coilovers, they had to use the stock perches for the front suspension. (hope i used the right terms there).
with the gc street coilovers, is the same thing needed?
i think i might go with the street coilovers if they are the same as the school/street (minus the camber plates and rsm)

oh ya, i searched so stfu.

can you let me know what the install consists of?
from the picture on the site it looks like none of the oem suspension is needed but just not sure.

The only thing that the street setup comes with is the koni shocks and sleeved coilover springs.

but is the install a bolt in and drive off or do you have to use parts from the oem suspension to do the install?
i want to know if the school/street kit's only difference is camber plates and rsm's or is there more than that?

yes, you'll need to reuse the stock perches

also, I don't think the street kit has the custom valved Koni's but I'm not sure about that so double check with ground control

It doesnt. Its off the shelf koni's with the same adjustables that all the other kits come with. You can specify your own spring rates.

I can almost guarantee the street setup will be more than enough for what you and I use it for.
