Hi just purchased a standard e30 325i, preparing it for another year of trackdays and trips to the ring.

Has any body got advice on what suspension set up to go for, the budget is approx Ԛ£400. is -60mm too low as im going for the euro look and want my 15x8 splits to fully fill the archs. Ive used spax psx before on a VW polo g40 and was quite pleased, has anyone had experience with these on their e30.

Advice on brake set up also required, what pads and disks etc are recommended

Thankyou, hope to hear from you..

Hi

Do you want to set it up for UK circuits or the Ring as potentially different setups..unless want a compromise

ANd depends on how much you want to spend and if speed, reliability or cost is most important..or in what order if you can understand what I mean

Hi thanks for your reply. Im really looking for a good comprimise,however the car is used on the roadbut not bothered about a hard ride.
This is what im thinking of ordering.
Spax psx -60
Powerflex bushes through out
After market disks(not sure which ones)recommendations...
Fast road/Track pads (recommendations)
Ive considered the basic wilwood conversion.
