E30 spring and schock combo help

[Podge]

First off yes i searched and no i didn`t find anything. I am looking at changing my springs and schocks on my E30 318i. I have a few things i need from these schocks so ill list them here if you have a spring and schock combo that meets my requierments can you please let me know!

1. Has to handle - the car is a street car but still gets on the track alot. i dont car if the car is to stiff for the street i will put up with it.
2. Can not be a coilover set up - this is illegal in australia and i just CBF with cars being pulled of the road these days
3. Performance over looks! - i dont care if the suspention doesnt drop the car to the ground i care that it handles good
4. decent spring rates - im not sure if i have the math done right im looking for something around 8KG/mm spring rate i THINK that is around the 445lb/in
5. Schock to suit these springs - i was thinking koni yellows / billy sports.

So does anyone have some input on this for me :p

A very good combination would be H&R Race springs, Bilstein Sport shocks, and 22/19mm sways.

You're in Melbourne, home of some of the best motorsports engineers on the planet. Have them set your car up. I bet it's much cheaper to get stuff through people in the know in AUS than it is to import springs and shocks etc.

H&R race springs might sit too low for your tastes, although they are probably about the rate you want.

IE3's with a coil off the front + Billy sports. Outhandled e46 m3's on the track.

I would ask around the motorsports clubs in australia. Put your networking skills to good use. It will pay off later down the road.
