    Coils?

    I know I might get a lot of crap for this thread, but I don't care since information is all I am after.
    I just want to know if anyone is running the cheap Cx Racing coil kit on their E30 as I am looking into getting a set.
    I know they are cheap; therefore, to clarify I am not racing or looking to drift but simply daily drive!
    All I need to know is if anyone has these and how does it ride? I am running H&R springs with blown front struts.
    Want to go lower and get new struts! This would allow me to do it all, but I don't want a bouncy daily.
    I was going to make this ride (87 325e) a turbo build, but figure a daily would be nice with a project. Since I have an m20 with 59k original miles and a turbo kit to go with it that I have spent some serious money on, I want this ride as a dd.
    So a little later down the road when I get some more parts together and a workable shell to do a real build I will, but for now I want a nice daily with cost in mind. I have collected parts over the past few years since I make little, live on my own, attend school, and pump what I have left into my dd. I do what I can with the little I have, which translates into buying top of the line things, but for this one thing I feel I can get away with on my daily.
    Please don't degrade me for looking into a cheaper route because all I want is a nice looking, decreased height, decently comfortable daily. I love my car as lots on here do, but some cant afford the best!
    Anyway, all I need to know is how it would ride!

    There is a ton of info out there on this subject.

    That said I have admittedly been trolling these types of posts for a while because I made this mistake once. You mention several times that you want a non bouncy daily and in my experience cheap coils will negate that.

    Advice from someone who has done it, I would just replace those struts and stick with the H&R springs. Look around and get into a good strut, then if you must do coils, there is tons of info on what to go with depending on your application.
