    Pick out my shocks and springs

    I have a 88 325is, camber caster kit, 23 front sway 19mm rear sway, solid rear shock mounts, soon to have rear subframe and diff. poly bushings, I have new motor and tranny mounts, a welded up reinforced front subframe, new trailing arms, M3 aluminum control arms, yada , yada , yada,

    I am torn between the koni/vogtland kit and the H&R race/ billy sport combo.

    The car is being completely stripped with 2 race seats and thats it/ no A/C no power steering etc... With all that said this is my primary driver i wont be tracking it. Although for trips etc.... I have an e39 wagon. I don't mind a harsh ride but I dont want to jar my brain out either.

    Which is the best for me? If you have any other suggestions in the same price range let me know.

    Thanks

                          Seriously, why would you strip a daily driver? You are making no sense.

                            I would go with the H&R Race with Bilstein Sports for the following reasons:

                            1) It is a reasonably priced set-up.

                            2) It is a good handling package that is still pretty compliant to use on the road for daily driving.

                            3) Should you get the itch to sell your E30 one day, with the gutted interior, above mentioned suspension and other things you've completed, it could be sold as an "almost-ready" SpecE30 racer....which helps broaden its market appeal.
