    WTB: struts & shock that won't bottom out for my s52 swapped e30

    I am running German engineering coils & was recommended to use bilstein hds in the front & mustang sports in the rear. The car will be slammed very low. What do you guys suggest? I'd like little to no modification. Thanks guys, show me what you're running.

    I'm very low and I run billy sports front and rear with the bumpstop modified in the front. They don't bottom out. To get more travel up front, get some camber plates with a short stack height.

      The guy who sold me the coilovers said that billys will only work on the front & he said I would be literally drivin on NO suspension in the back if I don't go with mustang sports. Anyone well educated wil shocks & Struts?

        You definitely want sports in the front, not HD.

        For the rear you could always run the Ground Control tall RSM.

          Just bought Billy sport rear shocks. I think I might go with sport front struts as well. My s52 swapped e30 is going to be a fast daily driver so what struts do u guys recommend for a nice smooth ride?

            like Mr 325 said....you don't want HD's up front They are for stock suspension and more prone to push your ride height up, defeating your purpose.
