E30 coilover help

[DRTSRFR]

"Bounce" will be dependent on what dampers you choose.

The firmer the spring, the more damping you will need to control the spring energy.

What rates did you get

450/650 on my daily sedan

375/550 on my vert

What rates did you get?

[hakop_e30]

I would recrommend the Ground Control setup, because I have owned 2 sets and the rates make sense. I don't understand the same spring rates that CA uses for both the front.

Koni and H&R race would be awesome. That's static though.

^ This...

...because Mark(who is no longer with GC) actually tested virtually every spring combination on his personal e30s. Something very few vendors actually do.

You won't get a 'stiff' coilover setup for under $1000. Go with a static setup and piece together quality parts. H&R's and Koni's. Leave the racelands for the VW guys.

False. GC and Koni shocks.

Those BC's on FCP...

BC (BOR-CHUANN) is actually the parent company and produces most all of the Taiwanese dampers...Megan, F Sport, D2, etc...

Do you have someone that can weld?

You say you've done some searching?

Here's a couple more links....

I don't know about really stiff, but i have Megan's and really like them. not affiliated (and do note they have low post count), but another member is selling them well under 1k.

GC is the best bang for the buck in your price range. Those BC's on FCP are more than likely a rebranding of some Chinese brand. Do some research on R3v, you'll find your answers-
