      Would his E30 M3 springs fit okay with my e30 325Is setup?






      I'd even take a 40% increase in comfort :)
      Lol I left out a piece of the math and it's actually 34% and 37%.

        Completely agree with Jim. I'm thinking your front KYB's are your largest ride issue with the race springs. Switching to sports and better paired front shocks will improve your ride immensely.

            I duuno about the regular e30 but, the spring rates for the ix are too soft for the amount of drop they give and cause you to bounce off the bumpstops. Because of this, the ride is generally better in an ix with stiffer rates.

              Yeah I guess i'll go and buy some H&R Sport springs.

              Which model do you think is the most comfortable ? I'm not really into lowering my ride height at all.

              I've had Eibach Pro-Kits in other cars and they weren't too bad.

              My KYB are new because I needed a quickie replacement for my blown bilsteins.

              Right now my top choice is H&R Sport springs.. any other recommendations?

              Unlike most of you I am more concerned with comfort and less with ride height.

              My car is almost where I want it as far as driveability goes. I have to say it's much

              easier to start modding from this car rather than starting all stock.

              Originally I wanted it to look 100% bone stock on the outside but a monster underneath.. Something about a 100% total sleeper is sexy.
