I'm thinking of replacing my H&R race with this set. Seems like a good price

At least get H&R sports. The OE sport is practically a replacement spring. You will be unhappy with the ride height and handling.

stop putting that car back to stock. sell it and get a stock e30 to mess with. that car was properly setup.

Did you drive/own the car? Last I checked I haven't put anything back to stock with the exception of the brakes.

I added Federal 595 RSR
I replaced blown shocks
put in a better houndstooth interior
Installed Power Door locks
Installed a Kenwood Headunit
replaced AKG polys with new E28 motor mounts (best thing ever)
Installed Euro Smileys
Installed Morimoto Hid kit from Theretrofit source
Replaced the steering wheel with a momo suede steering wheel
replaced fuel gauge with German Fuel Guage
I don't recall a stock e30 having all that stuff!

Alot of people like to tell me that it was setup right and all that I am ruining the car. The thing is it's my car and I can throw a sledgehammer at it if I want to. Everyone who has actually DRIVEN and RIDDEN in my car tell me that it's probably one of the smoothest and best riding E30's they have ever been in.

If properly setup to you means
4 dry rotted tires
blown front shocks
cracked front headlights
bad fuel guage
non functional bmw stereo
then by George, I guess I did ruin a properly setup car.

I found a deal and i'm putting in
Suspension Technique E30 M3 springs

i absolutely loved the interior before and i don't think it was the akg mounts, but more the tranny mounts that caused most of the vibration. i'm not saying you're ruining the car, but if you intend to slowly put stock or equivalent stock parts back on then why not just get a stock e30 to build up. by all means do what you want, but it will suck when trying to resell for the amount you bought it for. i believe we are just trying to look after our fellow community members is all.
