Could I swap the suspension on my e30?

[Supersurfer92]

I know it may be crazy talk, but can S13 240sx shocks/struts/springs go into a 1990 e30? I know there would be modification of a difficult degree, but how much modification do you think it would take? curious because I can get a full suspension that drops a s13 2" for $50 all in great condition.


Don't care if I get flamed, if I can do it it'd be that much better of a track car for me(cars a trailer skank anyways)

prepare to get flamed.

also, dropping the car 2 inches won't make it handle better.

I think I can handle some bitching and moaning, and forgot to add they are higher spring rate/are souper jdm mad tight yo race springs(do I need to spell out the sarcasm?)

if they're JDM, the shocks probably suck, which means putting herrajaydeemmm race springs on your car with them means that it's going to handle, most likely, worse than stock.

I am already confused...

I think my rear passenger shock is shot, and the front two are well on the way out anyways, so I was curious, the entire kit is kyb/gc *i think*, so its not some crappy egay shizkit, they are somewhat reputable parts(at least in my experience, the quality has been going down hill with the whole jdm import seen starting to fade out a bit), I just figured if I can pick the setup up for cheap and maybe get my buddy to mod the parts/car as needed it might be worth it.

not worth it. get a set of bilsteins off of here for like $150 and call it a day.

And to all interested, I'm a bit of a euro jdm bastard child haha, so keep that in mind/flame on I guess

Haha, I used to have a 240(loved the car, hated the crowd), so I guess you could say I have progressed, granted my 325is is in the process of becoming another driftcar, and to stay in somewhat good graces, i'll keep my original plans for the car to myself haha

In college = broke haha, I am trying to get a second job in FoCo(know anyone hiring?) to support my car habits, so maybe in a while I can do just that.

[Supersurfer92]

if I had the money to fork out, my car would look like this except my stock red or maybe monaco blue

Or just to razzle you guys a little, maybe do this


(granted that is a pretty respectable build, S50 swap, full gc coilover conversion, some other stuff i'm forgetting)

[CHIF8008]

same here. save up- you will find money to do what you love
