    Any other coilovers fit e30s?

    Like the title states, are there any coilovers for any other cars that will fit our cars, with little or no modifications? Sadly, there arent any brands, like raceland, who offer cheap decent daily driving coilovers for the e30 chassis. has anyone done this, or are there any that fit? If you know that just the front or just the rear fit, its fine, just let me know. I have the 4-lug, and have no intentions of a 5-lug swap.
    Thanks

        JOM coilover system. I have it on my daily sedan and I plan on getting another set for my coupe. for the price, I personally think they are worth it.

          i know about JOMs, but mighty said that there are only a few sets left and there wont be any for a few months. I wont get enough money until atleast 2 weeks, and im not looking to spend like $800+ for the GC conversion kit or other coilovers. Im trying to lower my car before H2Oi this year, which is only a month away. Help me out here!

                Are you on stocks? And its not half assed if you only chop dead coils, I know there are people on here rocking chopped H&R's that track their cars.

                  Right now I'm on stock setup and I'm looking to go really low. That's why I'm looking at coilovers.

                    This is a rode less traveled. I'm not going to give away my trade secrets on how i shortened the bilstein sports. Every part of my coilover setup is offered for sale by me.

                    First we shorten the strut tubes 1.9" and add a collar along with AKG sway link tabs. Welding done by Chris Castro of Castro Motorsports.







                    Pics installed with my GE camber plates and coilover dust boots. 6" #300 springs






                    Rear installed with GE tall RSMs 4" #800 springs (14lbs of boost and a stereo system makes the car squat hard)







                    Rear all the way down and fronts all the way up. Will be switching to 7" springs

                          Coilovers $300
                          RSM $100
                          Camber plates $200
                          AKG tabs $30

                          So basically for a little more then the price of a set of vorshlag/ground control plates you can get everything but the shocks.
