so tried towng with my touring last night... pulls well, but its got range rover syndrome... ie the rear is on the floor and the nose is sky high!

solved it on the rangey with some police spec springs - so question is... can you get uprated springs for an e30? maybee the rally boys use something?

any ideas?


ta!

You can get some stiffer springs from the dealers for tourings fitted with a tow bar, i don't know how much stronger they are but they have got to be better than the 15 (ish) year old originals ?

Didn't know that either, (just after 2 weeks of towing a caravan around France with anti aircraft searchlights for headlamps.)
