    Ride quality

    Wondering if I could ride along in another members ride to see if the suspension is what I want to get. Since I will be replacing the racelands I have on now. The suspension I want to ride in a car with is h&r sport w/ either koni sa's or billy sports and either stock or performance sways, the other set up is h&r race w/ billies or koni sa's.

      I will be pulling H&R race and Billie sports off my car this summer if you are interested in making a deal. The springs have only been on for a couple month's, but I am going back to full coilovers.

      Let me know if you are interested.

        Well even if you aren't considering H&R coilovers, I'm here to tell you're they're soft ass garbage.

          If you dont get to ride in other people's cars, here is what i have found to be true with my cars and about 8-10 other e30s i have driven:

          HR sport and konis is a soft really good street ride. it will ride like a modern car.
          HR sport + billies is more predictable but harsher over potholes.
          HR race /IE3s + konis good for auto but it's not the kind of ride you want if you are on bump/rough roads and do no autox/tracking if you keep all rubber mounts it's very sporty, predictable and amazing in the hills.
          HR race /IE3s + billies is much more bouncy on rough roads but will out preform the konis (stock for stock) on a smooth track. my friends that are hard core autox'ers use the HR race+billies and swear buy them. but they use this setup bc coilovers add more points.
          i have driven in many cars with many types of full GC coilovers and they range from red blooded race cars to plush handling street/sports cars.
          Much wow

            ^This.

            I will add that choice of swaybar's can also affect the ride, particularly around corners and going over potholes and sleeping policemen.

              You're supposed to go around sleeping policemen. Freshly woken law enforcement has no sense of humor.

                I had this set up once it was way to soft for my liking.

                  Fix your grammar nigga. And what is your liking? Vague ass vague person. Do you track your car? Are you a weekend stanceburgler? Do you rally your car? C'mon son! Be descriptive.

                      No room here for that ignorant Donald Sterling-esque BS. Joking or not you make yourself look like an ass.

                          I've long been an ass. There's no hiding that. We live in a white-privileged, post-racial America, so the N-word is fair game. I voted for Obama twice, so nigga is cool, right?
