I have had a standard e30 325i SE two door for about 10 years and in this time not used it much (done about 10k miles in it!). However, I am looking to use it more now and upgrade it a bit.
It is fully standard, two owners including me and done about 100,000 miles.
I would like to upgrade the handling. My aim would be a sportier feel but not over the top, not rock hard, and much better grip. I don't have a maximum budget and would like to do a proper job. My prioritry is on much better and more enjoyable handling. I want to keep the car standard looking and so lowering it, differenty wheels, etc is not a priority for me.
She runs standard BMW 15 inch BBS alloys.
Bascially the suspension will need a good overhall and decent, functional, upgrade.
Thanks in advance![/url]

a full suspension overhaul would be a great start, worn/knackered suspension ruins the ride of an E30. Poly bushes can be used for the ARB's but personally I would use oem rubbers for the rest to avoid a hard ride.
