Would M3 springs be right for me?

[e30lyf]

Don't waste the extra on Bilstein Sports if you're going to run the M3 springs. Bilstein HD's will be perfect. I have M3 springs on my daily driver 85 and I am very happy with them.

it doesent seem like im going to be able to gather enough money to get the holy grail billy HDs so would tokico HPs be any good as far as quality and ride characteristics or should i just go oem? i know alot of guys on the forum dont like tokicos but they would still be better than stock right?

[Wishno87]

any input guys? UP

People on this forum will berate Tokicos and call them the most worthless this and crappy that.... but I ran Tokico's on my Acura and was generally happy with them. They are a bit on the inexpensive side but they should provide you a bit better feel then stock. Though I have heard of Tokico's blowing more often on dropped cars, you should be fine since you're going with M3 springs, which is a touch lower but practically stock (...stock M3 I suppose).

If you can't afford Billstein, Tokico's should do you fine.

are there any other alternatives that dont cost as much coin as HDs that anyone would recomend?

I have tokico blues on my car with racing dynamics springs and they have been great. If your daily driving I doubt that you would be unhappy with tokicos, they are a pretty good deal. Mine are three years old and I've no problems.

any other ideas? theres a set of tokico HPs on ebay for 170 if no one talks me out of it

I have billy sports on my m3 springs and they are fine. I would recommend saving up for them because then if you feel the need to go lower, you wont need new shocks. If you are really strapped for money, I would bet that the stock shocks would be fine with the minor lowering of the springs.
