BMW M30 Suspension

[Pembo]

Just really wondering what people are doing for suspension on there E30 M30's?

Mine is currently running uprated shocks and 60mm lowering springs. I am finding that there is way too much movement in the suspension. I do believe the lowering springs are from a 320i. Also got strut brace front and rear.

The car is mainly used for track / drift days. Would it be worth me spending the money on coilovers? I have also thought about getting lowering springs from a cabrio as they are heavier.

Any help would be greatful

You say 'uprated' shocks, what make are they, and the springs?

I have Gaz adjustables on my M30, just the job to stop most of the body roll

You f*ckin nutter

Ive gone through Unknown 40mm springs to Apex 60mm to Apex 35mm to H&R 60mm and now im on Eibach 40mm.
Imo i prefer the ride on the 35mm Apex's with standard shocks.

Thank you everyones input. Loving the idea of the truck suspension. How I did chuckle!

It's interesting to see the different spring setups people have used.

At present I'm using Jamex 60mm springs all round with cheap yellow german uprated shocks off eBay.

I have just ordered sleeves etc to make my own coilovers. I have a set of E36 coilovers which I intend to strip to make them for the E30. I thought the E36 spring rate should be about right as they are heavier on the front end.

Any thoughts?

The other problem I have is the rear sits higher since I have removed the original fuel tank for an alloy boot mounted one.
