I got a set of coilovers made for a E36 325i ´91 :)
After inspection these are the specs and information on the kit
front
"6 springs : 350lbs
spring movement : "1,6
I don´t know what the highest setting will lower it but we will find out :)
The spring sits on a threaded aluminum hat that sits on the strut where the shock fastening nut is, I don´t think this is like the GC kit as it sits on the collar or is welded on the strut, but since this works on a E36 it has to work on a E30 as well : threads inner dimentions are "2.6 so it will fit over the E30 strut, the springs don´t really go down the struts unless the perches are moved down,
rear
"6 springs : 450lbs
spring movement : "1,2
The problem here is that the thread thing is fastened with a nut to the E36 spring seat, and the E30 spring seat has a nub sticking out that is to big for this unit to fit over it, but a machine shop will fix that for me, and it will fit perfect,
Final conclusion : I dig this,
Springs are some Racing something or other, but that is not the point, I can always get better springs and I will if the need rises, Demon Tweeks will provide them any rate and diameter and any length as well :)
Front shocks are Koni sports,
Rear shocks will be Spax externally adjustable
Finishing time for suspension is late spring, that means all bushings will be done,
plastic in the rear subframe or polyurethane,
Then I will be able to tell you my conclusion on using a E36 Coilover setup for a E30 with minor mods,
