    Stiffer suspension choices

    Looking to find a stiffer suspension choice. Currently running King springs low + Koni yellows, common and popular spring in NZ / Aus, but they (in my opinion) are too soft, they currently squat like nobodies business, particularly under heavy driving, uphills or with the fatties in the back. Currently results in some minor rubbing on the inner rear quarter (Not the lip) and its particularly annoying.

    On this side of the world coilovers are not a financial option due to ridiculous legal costs associated, and my choices are limited to HR / Dobi and Vogtland (And Jamex, but i've heard many bad things about them). Just after some opinions on what would be a good stiffer choice that isn't going to sag on its ass / doesn't have as much travel

    I run H&Rs on both my e30s (OE sports on the ETA) and Cabrio specifics with Koni SAs in the Cabrio and I love the combo. Have you tried adjusting the dampers ?

      I'm pretty sure Koni's only adjust the rebound and not compression, which wouldn't help in this case, thanks though!

        H&R Race would be my choice. I've heard the sports are too soft and do what you are describing. I've driven on the Races before and they feel great. Not too stiff.

            Unsure as kings master list doesn't include spring rates. All I know is that the general consensus is they are only slightly stiffer than stock if that, are generally soft and have a tendency to sag over time.
