    what springs and shocks will give me the stiffest ride?

    So, I just got another E30. Its sitting xxr's 513's. They are 16x8, they look awesome on the car but whenever I hit a bump in the road or it has a quick change in elevation the tires hit the fenders. I just want something stiff enough so that won't happen but still low and pretty! Thanks guys.

      Those will work, but J-Stock springs are stiffer, if that's what you're after.

        That's what I had on my last E30 and I figured that's what would be best for this one. Thank

              I'm loving my camaro mr2 KYB AGX's with 500f 800r, m50 vert. Bilstein was way too soft, rides much better with stiffer shocks.

                You're doing this backwards man. Roll your rear fenders flat instead.
                No need to sacrifice ride quality.

                  Ill give you a stiff ride.
                  Shity coil overs will give you a very stiff ride. Try using Honda parts off of ebay.

                    J-stock is pretty much the stiffest suspension you can get for e30, save for maybe some crazy custom rates from GC or something. It is also completely overkill for street use.

                    Side note: if you're looking for IE3/Billie sport setup I have one for sale, maybe 5k on it.
