E36 and e34 Coilover/suspension Help- recommendations needed

Post Tue May 17, 2011 10:52 pm

Right, my bro and I both need new suspension for our cars due to shot dampers..

Ideally we want to spend as little as possible, and get some lowering done (e36), and stiffer dampers installed.

Been looking at ebay coilover kits- there's hudreds for the Bro's e36- what would you folks recommend? Max spend Circa £250

The e34 I cant see any cheap kits for- does anyone have any ideas (dampers are shot so I'd like to replace springs/dampers in the one hit!) Car will mainly be on track, so need decent damping and possibly a touch more height than current!

Cheers

what will the e36 be used for? Unfortunately with coilovers mate you get what you pay for! Maybe in your budget you could try looking at 2nd hand kits? sounds mad but you would have more chance of ending up with decent kit on your motor, even if it wasn't all lovely and shiny!
Then again i haven't used really cheap coilovers so can't vouch for them but i know a lot of people on here will not touch those ebay ones.

I got some FK AK Street coilovers for my E36 from Venom Motorsport online. Cost me about £180 delivered for the full kit. No issues with them as yet and they're perfectly usable on a daily basis, which I do!

Certainly a vast improvement over the 120k mile tired originals that were on my car...! And for the money, they're excellent.
