Alrighty, my father and I have a winter project ahead of us that we're planning on tearing into pretty soon.
Plans for the car this winter: 5-lug/complete chassis refresh/LS-juan and t56
'86 eta sedan - I have acquired the "traditional" 318ti rear/e36M front setup - planning on running the stock brakes for each as of now.
What are my non-coilover options for a 5-lug swap? I'm not against coilovers by any means, but it's going to be my dad's summer daily/weekend fun car, and he wants a smooth ride, without being too low. I think they'd be overkill in this situation, it most likely won't see a track, but definitely some backroad thrashing - so I don't want to go too soft. All the bushings are going to be replaced with Condor poly.
I'm thinking H&R Sports and Billie Sports/Koni's.. possible? Do I need to use e36M front springs and 318ti rears, or does e30 junk fit?
Very new to 5-lug stuff, not at all with modding e30's.
