E30 Koni bodied FK Coilovers On Sale

[Saloon]

Hey just saw this and thought I’d share it with everyone!

E30 Coils on sale

http://www.ecstuning.com/stage/edpd/pagebuild_v2.cgi?make=BMW&engine=M20%202.5l&model=E30&submodel=325i&category=Suspension&subcategory=Coil%20Overs

I recently got some “FK Sport Edition Plus” coils for my E46 and love them, so needing a new suspension for the E30 & seeing that there now on sale, I think I will be ordering them for it too!

I had been considering getting a set of coils for awhile. I was looking for something that would allow me to be stiff enough for Mid-Ohio track days, but be able to somewhat keep ride quality for DD & go really low.

So I think I’ve decided on the Konisport E30 3-Series Coilover System.

They are fully adjustable, Koni bodies, German made, and they have a lifetime warranty! :up:

So now the question... Anyone here use FK Coils on their E30s? I like them on the E46 but didnt know if anyone had any experiences with them on the older BWMs.

All thoughts and input welcome!

I have read about better e30 specific options abeit more expensive.

Yea so have I, but the price is what I was into. I mean if I was going to track the car a ton then I would look at the higher end coils, but these are a Great coil for the money. At least on the E46 they were,

Any body running them?

I asked ECS for pics and spring rates of the kit when they first went on sale 3 weeks ago, and they still haven't gotten them to me.

It looks like it could be a good kit though; I have heard quite a few good things about FK from some VW friends.

Sorry for the old thread bump but does anyone know if these come complete as an entire strut assembly or are these weld on perches and inserts for the front?

I thought about that after I posted it. I was looking for the M3 kit so that I can go 5-lug.
