My dad bought a car as it was cheap and had a good shell. It won't be far off iS spec once I've fiddled with it.

any e30 will go sideways in the wet, not a wise thing to do on UK roads though.

Is there more difference between a standard e30 and an IS then just the mtech suspension and ARB's?
Obviously a different engine I know

Gotcha. when you say different suspension are the shocks stiffer? Got mine lowered 60mm and over some bumps they rub! Need to sort it pronto

Not sure about shocks they're bilstein though. An iS is also dropped 15mm from a standard E30.

Would bilstein be stamped on them anywhere? not just a sticker as it'd be long gone by now!

Not too sure never looked at a set...

Would guess you can get them from part number...

And they're usually yellow shocks...
