So i recently swapped my 89 E30 with an S52 and would like to address the suspension. I currently have stock everything for the suspension. As far as what i am looking at i keep going back and forth between the H&R Race and H&R OE Sport springs. I have decided on adjustable Koni Yellows for the shocks. I also have a set of E90 drop hats i was going to throw on. I noticed the oil pan sits very low and would like to get a skid plate eventually, but i am trying to decide what i should do with the cars suspension first.
I have done research and found other posts, but everyone keeps throwing different opinions out/ the ride heights are different with the same setup. I had Bilstein Sports with H&R Sports on my old E30 and ride height was not an issue, but the damping was a tad aggressive over roads with a lot of pot holes, and it had a lot of body roll. From my understanding the Sports and OE Sports have the same spring rate, but lower the car a different amount.
I would like something sportier, but not completely dumped. I regularly go over decent sized speed bumps and live in SC.... The roads leave a little to be lacking here. Can you all post pictures/opinions of these different setups?
