    Rally Suspension Setup?

    I know its been talked about before but I havent really found anything useful. Im working on building an e30 325 rally car. It's currently set up for drift so I believe it has bistien sports with eibach lowering springs and sway bars. I was thinking about doing bilstein hd's with some springs similar to stock but a little stiffer..Any ideas? Thanks

    use vert springs. They will lift you a bit.

      Thanks for the quick reply, any idea who sells them? Im having a tough time finding any. Also anyone interested in my current set up i'll be selling the struts and springs once I find a new set up.

        Vert means convertible. He means put in some stock convertible springs.

          No I know they were for the convertible I just didnt know if anyone sold new ones anywhere but I ended up finding some locally today. Would hd's be a good strut to use with these?

              For what it's worth, I"m just going to stick with my stock early 318i springs with Bilstein HDs for rallycross. They're pretty soft, but they really sit up high. Would be interested in knowing the spring rates on the vert vs. the 318.....

                  I'm looking at doing the same thing as you, my ride is too low and hard. Moving to Colorado in a year and having this be my dd I have decided to build it up as more of a rally car.

                  Did you change the springs and shocks? What did you go with? How does it look? How much height did you get?
