    Is this worth while?

    Hey guys,

    I've been shopping for suspension for a while now, and this seems to meet my requirement for daily driven e30, and I'm really not that picky. What do you think?



    Thanks for any input!

    The price sounds good, but i've never tried Vogtland springs.

      Vogtlands are nice springs, not extremely hard but not too soft either. I would say that that would be a great combo for a dd.

          Just bear in mind those are Bilstein Touring shocks, which aren't really intended for lowering springs. I'd buy Bilstein Sports and H&R Sport springs if I was spending your money. Awesome DD setup, even for an older guy like me.

            I agree with Tim.


            But if you're looking for a full kit that's good to go, look at the eBay auction for the H&R springs with billstein sport springs. Its pretty stuff but it not horrible. If the race springs seem too stiff for you, visit turnermotorsport.com and they have a billstein and H&R sport set up for a really good price.

              the tokico setup isnt all that bad and a little less $ than that setup, maybe somethin you should look at for a DD setup...

              the only beef i have as well as others is they sometimes blow so keep that warranty card!

                    Ive heard nothing but crap about Tokico. Not trying to bash your idea, but I would go for a more expensive setup to "do it right the first time".

                      I think this looks like a pretty good deal as well.

                      Including the shipping from the ebay seller you're loing at a little more than $100 difference.

                            Well its not the best by far, and ive heard most of the crap from the setup on tracks, which i think it is reallybad for it.. but if you have the extra $ i wouldnt disagree with everyone else...

                              although i just remembered one of my shocks may be leaking, and if it is [already!] i wouldn't recommend the tokico setup.
