The Cabrio Suspension Thread

[handysmurf59]

What are thoughts of HR springs and Billy sports? Im in my phone and don't wanna look thru 19 pages. Will all shocks work? I know rear spring is a different rate coupe vs vert. I Got the Hr springs for free and wanna use if possible. TiA

:down: Read the thread you lazy ass bastard! Then ask some educated questions and we will help!

Anyone get in the the JOM coilover group buy and the the convertible-specific kit?

so race front springs with the vert specific sport rears?
or will races do fine all the way around?

Race are just lower/stiffer than regular Sports or convertible-specific Sports. Any e30 spring will fit in any e30, it's just a matter of how low/stiff you want it.

Bilstien's and H&R Sports
Racing Dynamics Sways & Strut Brace

Switching to H&R Race because rear squats alot under boost.

I can already say you will have intense reverse rake. Don't do it.

I have the kit on my vert and it is decentally stiff and perfect for DD :)

My car is the Black vert on the first page.
No install issues at all these things are great. Already put 2000 miles on them and they still seem new. Ride quality is smooth, But stiffer than stock so you can still feel some of the bumps in the road. The springs aren't racecar stiff or anything so when you do turn hard it gets a lil bouncy not too bad though

Overall If I had the chance I would by them again :)

60/40 H&R Cup kit cabrio specific.
I'm not too happy about the height. I wanted it to be lower.. I'll buy drophats when the snow disappears.
The ride is good, though. Not too stiff, but it's a vert, not a racecar
