New to e30. Just curious if I should run H&R race or H&R sport springs. I would pair them with bilstein sports. Just bought the car, and it sits on raceland coils. Not a big fan of them. As of right now I need to raise the car for my tastes. The roads I drive on are somewhat bad at times. I know the progressive rates help with normal driving. Please give me any suggestions.

Depends on what kind of ride quality vs. lowness/handling tradeoff you're looking to make. Practically everyone on this forum under the age of 30 will tell you to go with the race springs. I have one car with each though neither are my daily. If I had to pick one of the two to drive every day for a month based solely on that tradeoff and ride quality, it's the car with the sports (and Konis) hands down. -
For a daily driver there is nothing wrong with stock (especially IS) springs. Bilstein Sports would not be my choice in that case. I think Koni SA's (set no more that 1 turn from full soft initially) are a better choice.The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

The main person who would care about a harsh ride would be my fiancé. Which she doesn't drive the car hardly ever. I just hate the racelands that are on the car. They're just crap..Comment

I think the vogtland are a good combo of ride height and comfort. Ran them in a did for a while. Comfortable but still an improvement over stock.Comment
