This kit
Supersport lowering kit 60mm E30 Saloon,Coupé 320-325 on eBay (end time 05-Jun-10 13:50:11 BST)

anybody using them ??? are they very stiff ?

im looking for a quick cheap suspension solution to sort the handling for now until i can save up for an e36 hsd conversion :cool:.

if they're a load of old shit anyone got any other suggestions ???

was thinking of spax psx but its a bit pricey if im just gonna change again in the future :nod:


cheers winkeye

Saw these too. From Germany IIRC? [can't see the bay at work].

Was tempted..but unsure. Anyone had any experiences?

yep there fine, fitted the dampers to a car about 4 months ago and they have been fairly well hammered since.

cheep and cheerful, dont expect them to last for ever but then they cost next to nothing.

ok cool thanks

before i order i just want to know cos they list different kits for 320i and 325i, as my car has had a rear disc brake conversion using 325i trailing arms, will i now have 325i suspension ??? sorry maybe obvious but cos i didn't fit it i dont know.

all depends on your front strut size, i should think you have larger 6 pot front struts (51mm) so go for the 325 kit, tbh they know what there doing anyway and will send the right ones if you put it on the order.
