Is anyone running the E30 M3 Group N Turner Motorsport Coil Over Racing Suspension ( http://www.turnermotorsport.com/html...D=E30M3TMSRACE ) on a non-M3 e30?

I've been told that the front wheel bearing would have to be changed to the M3's.

Thanks.

That's true. The M3 bearing is a little bit larger. What suspension are you looking for? There are cheaper ways to get GrpN/race suspension. Do you really want coil-overs? I might be able to get you a set.

Aico,

I am building a full on track car. I used to race an '82 e21 until she gave up the ghost at a 2.5hr enduro race in May. I was given an '85 318i. I've swapped over the cage, fuel cell, seat, and seat. As the suspensions are different, I need to find an e30 coilover setup. I am looking at what options are out there.

What coilovers do you have? Spring Rates?

Cheers,

StoneCold

I have GrpN springs laying around. F/R 120N/mm, 180N/mm. Also with custum valved Bilstein race dampers and offset top-mounts for more negative camber. This set-up fits an E30. You interested?
