    I'm not trying to be a dick or anything, but me thinks you don't know what stiff springs feel like.

    But anyway, WHERE ARE THE PICS!!! Car looks great already in the sig. I hope you didnt completely slam it, just needed a nice drop. Black wheels on a red e30 are pimp.

      Yeah, what other E30 suspension do you have to compare to your Jamex?

        Yes, this is quite funny. He will see...

          i like it and thats all that matters here. i know what a stiff suspension feels like, and since none of you accualy have these springs you have no idea how they ride, i however do know how h&r and j-stocks ride.

          back on topic why the hell didnt my jtd rsm's fit? is the mechanic just on crack?

                who cares how stiff they are, it sounds to me like this wasnt what he cared about in the first place, given its an 84 318i and my pathfinder could smoke it in a race. If it looks good and came a cheap price, sounds sweet to me. I bet the car is slammed to, given that he bought them from andre

                  I'm going to guess yes, your mechanic is on crack.

                  The rear struts should be the same across the E30's, it is the front struts in the 318's that are smaller than the rest - 45mm vs. 51mm

                    I have Jamex springs, and yep, they're soft :) I'd say they're a little softer than my old mtech springs. They're only a 35-40mm drop tho so I don't have too many problems with scraping.

                    Mine are the progressive ones. I've only ever had them bottom once, and that was with two people in the back, so it's not too bad. And I have a heavy 325i as well, so the 84 318 might not be too bad.

                      IF your car goes airborn and doesn't bottom out, then you know it never will... unless you get more air :P

                      Pics?
