Suspension Upgrades

[hamann318is]

This is the next thing to do on my list.

I'm probably going to do the group buy on the IE stage 3 springs. That's the only way I can get my 318 low. ;) What's the reconmmended shock for this spring?

I also am going to do the RSMs. I'm thinking the E46 M3 mounts. Anyone see a problem with these?

Anything else I should plan on doing "while I'm in there"?

Thanks in advance!

The stage 3s won't drop it that much. But they'll be nice springs; get Bilstein sports or Koni Adjustables.

Ground Controls or H&R cup kit not low enough for ya?

That all depends on how much money you wanna spend. Adj. camber plates, E30 m3 control arm offset bushings, sways, etc...

The IE stage 3 gets the 318's rear fender a little bit over the rear tire, that's low as I want to go. ;)

I'd like my ride to be stiff, but not uncomfortable stiff. Do the Bilsteins provide that (I'd rather buy them)?

Oh yeah, you have the lower rear arches... you won't have to lower it much to get the arch at the tire...
