Raceland coilovers
Spring Rate:
Front – 375
Rear – 295
(HATE the spring rate, any ideas where i could get stiffer, maybe shorter, springs?)
i can still go lower in the front but i have to cut the original spring perch off. the back im going to take the adjusters out to be a bit lower too.

tell me what you think!

I think you're the first to debut racelands e30 stuff.

[vaughnbannister]

they actually are not even bad, well except for their spring rates.... hahah i need stiffer springs! D:

[Herr Faust Schinken]

I wonder why they choose to run a stiffer front rate than back , like 90 percent of e30 setups I've seen run a allot stiffer rear spring than front spring

[vaughnbannister]

not sure but it actually sucks. like the height is good but its way to soft, do you know where i could get stiffer ones that would fit...?

[Herr Faust Schinken]

Do you know what size springs they used, you can get new springs from hypercoil, (eibach though ground control) and swift all make good springs

[vaughnbannister]

they are progressive springs, if that helps?

Ill throw my car up

Cut stock suspension no camber adjustment
Xxr 002 15x9 0 offset 195/50 tire
Slight roll on fenders
Actually doesn't ride that bad, a little bouncy on fast harsh bumps. I've definitely rode in worse
It's my daily driver I'm happy with it
