Hi I need some help on choosing a set of coilovers for my E30 convertible with 51mm front struts. the car will be used on the road for daily use.
I have looked at:
- JOM Blueline,
- Raceland Coilovers
- TA Technik
- V-Maxx
- BC Racing BR-RA
- GAZ GHA
- Cobra EVO I Coilovers
- KW Variant 1 S/S Coilovers

I'm not keen in welding the coilovers to the struts myself, but wouldn't mind if anyone can do it for me.

Thanks

if you really want coilovers then PLEASE ignore the cheap brands like jom/raceland/ta/vmaxx the only ones worthy of note are the bc/gaz/kw one's, the cheap ones will give you lows but nothing else.

they are cheap for a reason.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.

Why do you need coilovers on a convertible?
