Can anyone help please, I'm looking on coilovers for The BMW
What ones are suitable for a V8 E30? (4.0)
Cheers!

If you want to drive your car - Gaz, Nitron, AST, KW, H&R, Bilstein etc etc

Or if you just want to slam your arches within millimetres of your arches with no consideration for the handling anything on ebay

I know the decent makes for coilovers but I'm so confused like I've got the 5 stud conversions so control arms from M3 on front and 318ti on back, but soon to have a 4.0 engine in it and I've seen some coilovers go by engine size... I haven't got a clue if o need different sets of them or what? The money doesn't matter I want it still very drivable... Not on air tho...

Well only a few months late replying to this.

I ran Gaz coilovers and then changed to HSD's for the rest of the time i had my car
I had a m60b40 and also e36 m3 front suspension.

If you are just driving on the road you are not going to notice a massive difference between all the differing makes besides ebay coilovers.

If you are using it on track alot, i would recommend Gaz as a good base and then fine tune your spring rates from there on depending how the car acts.

Dont forget the rear strut reinforcement plates either
