E30 Zone

Hi there,

I have an S38 engine E30 and I'm in the process of sorting my suspension (mainly road duties) and would gladly take your advice.

I already have some Gaz Gold coilovers (past owner), with very stiff springs. I am about to order some 500lbs and 250 lbs springs to make them a little more road worthy...

The car already has poly bushes which make it a little 'bouncy'.

Anyways do you believe that these coilovers will be bearable? Are they ok on the road?
What about ARB? Should I stay stock to remedy some stiffness?

OR should I sell the coilovers and get a nice spring and shock combo?

Thanks a lot,
Paulo

Most will say ditch the coilovers for road use, and go B6/8's and Eibach springs.

More suitable spring shouldnt cost to much and you get the benefit of setting the car up as you want it. I'd keep the coils anyway.

You must be able to change the springs on the coilovers

I will have the help of a nearby shop, well versed in all suspension matters.

Ok, I think I will give this coilovers a shot...

Thanks for your help, I will stop by to give a final opinion when its all together and dialed in.
Paulo
