im sticking full e30 m3 running gear on my project car, and i lookin for a suspension upgrade kit to whack on before i put all the stuff on!!
ive run H&R on my sport with great results,, thing is, i was wondering if there's any kit out there that's best for the m3.
the car will have a 3.6l engine but i think the m3 application stuff should be fine... as the engine will be quite far back anyway...
so do i go for the cup kit??
cheers

You're dropping an M5 engine (read expensive) in a low mileage 318is (read expensive), with E30 M3 running gear (read expensive), and you say the coilover's out of your pricerange!! I thought it was funny anyway!
Before you say it though, I know you've probably made a bit back from selling the parts you didn't need...

I have no idea to be honest mate, I'm quite happy with the stock stuff as it's brand new, because the PO had ripped the non functioning EDC out.Karan wrote:hmmmm how much are h&r coilovers then simon?? for an m3??

I've got some H&R race springs and bilstein sports which are meant to be one of the best non coil over set ups. have a look on s14.net. If i don't keep the e30 you can have first refusal on them.

got it from america from 2 different sources. you can't get the H& R race springs here. I'll have to check but i think around Ԛ£400ish for the whole set up (both new items). I'f i do sell them i'll sell them to you for whatever they cost me.Karan wrote:cheers Imran keep me posted!!
