    if you had 1500-1800 to spend

    Ok well its time to spend some cash on some suspension parts for the e30.
    I need something adjustable for sure.
    I need camber plates, shocks all around, shock mounts, maybe some sways and Im going to replace bushings and some other stuff while Im there.
    IF you had this amount of cash to spend what would you buy and whats the best place to buy it from?
    Most of you know I like my car to be slammed, So I would say my springs need to be really stiff.
    I have heard about cutting the struts and running shorter shocks from a VW.
    I see that in this thread here.

    Thanks for the help and info. Im looking to see what people have to say.

        Nice attempt, but personally I would want the original with shocks for an e30, not a copy using rear shocks intended/valved for a Mustang...:D

          From some second hand info I heard it must not matter. Fastest e30 autoxer BY FAR uses the VW/Mustang shocks.

              Well maybe. Then again who's setup would you be inclined to copy? The fastest guy or everyone else?

                  c3motorsports FTW I plan on going that route, then hey, down the line switch to another insert/shock combo. Bet it won't make a difference.

                      I have the C3 kit on both my E30's and I wouldn't have it any other way. End of discussion.

                        Jordan said the same thing.
                        I think Im going with this setup. I have no doubts. I searched around and found some really good info on it.

                          Unless everything you have is completely one off (car,clothes, shoes, watch) you ain't originating shite.
