Hi guys i'm new to the forum so hello from me
I have just recently bought a 320i coupe with b25 conversion. What setup everyone's using for better handling the car is currently running gaz adjustable coilovers they've got 3 settings on them, I think it's been poly bushed but not a 100% 9j rear wheels and 8j front not the best tyres if I'm honest but I'm looking getting new ones so help with that would be great also. Is it worth getting adjustable top mounts and what arb should I be looking at
Cheers

What are you intending to do with the car as obviously that has a huge amount to do with what direction you should go in suspension wise?

You should certainly be looking at modifying the rear beam suspension mounting points to allow adjustment of toe and camber.
I think DanThe offers the parts required for this if you can't make them yourself.
