M roadster struts in E30

[bimmer630]

For my 5 lug swap i got a set of used but not abused M roadster front struts. I went that route so i could use my current H&R springs.
does anybody think i should keep my bilstein HD's out back or get a set of factory M coupe rear shocks to match the front?
I was originally gonna just run with it and see how it rides, but now since Bavarian Recyclers screwed me over on my rear Z3 hub flanges (sent me wrong parts and then said they cant sell flanges seperate from trailing arm) they say i have to return them for store credit and the only thing i can think of that i need from them is shocks for the rear...

I havent seen someone do it but a friend of mine is planning on try to put in a set of used m coupe coilovers, he is still in the collecting parts stage so we havent tried it out yet.

well i know they will physically fit.. People have done it and the front strut units are just like the E36 M3 stuff with different valving or something.. I just have to use the E30 upper mounts of course.. although i do wonder if i should try to re-drill the strut towers to accept these offset M-coupe spring hats
I was just wondering how the thing will ride when im all done

got everything in there and the car rides good, i like the suspension but the steering is a bit squirrelly.. maybe i just need to get used to it but with the 8 degrees of caster it makes it kinda like i have to fight the car to make it turn, it definitley takes more steering input than before but alot say thats a good thing.
