can someone recommend a good setup for suspension. its a m3 with s50b32 6 speed.
front looks a little low and i can feel every thing on the road.
i want a stock height or maybe a little drop. (roads are shit)
improved handling is a must.

See if you can get an eibach/bilstien B12 kit. Try demon tweeks.

but do i get the b12 kit for a m3,6 pot or touring. i was thinking the s50 and 6 speed weigh alot more than the s14 or even the m20.

Hi there,
Would recommend you check out RPM - they have their own forum on the home page.
Call them and they will get you something that will make your car handle like it should!
They compensate for the weight of the new engine by supplying springs with spring rates to match.
All the Best,
adil

With the engine that you have an uprated arb set up and new top mounts would make a noticable positive improvement as well as dampers and springs.The whole lot is a must realy if you want to get the best out of your engine conversion!

I run eibach springs Koni adjustable dampers, 25mm front 22mm rear ARB's front and rear strut braces, toe and camber conversion on rear, 8.5x18 front 9.5x18 rear and set up as came from the factory. Don't suffer any adverse tyre wear, ride is good, far far more comfortable than the R32 on coilovers. The springs are for the 325 so in some way compensate for the extra weight of the engine. Good luck with your choice.
