    Need advice on my suspension (V8 cabrio)

    Hello all Im seeking out some advice on my v8 swapped cabby. So the car is originally a 92 318 cabrio. It now has an LQ9 6.0L iron block V8 with a t56 6 speed long story short im guessing my curb is gonna be around 3200-3300.

    Right now Im planning on running H&R race with Billy sports and stock spring pads all around. Wheels with be custom rotiform sjc's weighing 14lbs each + tires.
    specs are :

    17x8 +18 205/40/17
    17x9 +15 215/35/17

    What are your guys opinions on how it will look and ride with this proposed set up?

    From what ive read its gonna be low (already have a skid plate) just wanna make sure its not gonna be too low with the cabrio+iron block V8. I could always go to sport springs but im thinking they will be too soft with the added weight.

    Let me know your guys thoughts.
    Thanks.

      just go with a high rate coilovers like GC. Verts are heavy to start with.

        I don't have the funds currently to run coils. After some research I think I'll try running a very stiff rear shock like the camaro just-a-gas (they are dirt cheap)
