I've fitted BC racing to a few cars now, but never an E30. They are well designed and fairly good quality. Never had an issue with them and customers have always been happy.

I've just had a set of Gaz made up, through RPM. They look amazing, and the customer service was top notch. Yet to drive on them, but first impressions are very good!
