    love the ie3 but need coilovers. spring rates?

    current set up i've had for many many years maybe 8 or more are ie3s with sa konis
    konis are not blow as far as i can tell. they don't bounce around.


    new rims style32 17x8 are alittle bit wider, so they rub on any type of compression
    vs euroweaves.

    it's an m30 turbo so there's allot of added weight up front and this
    thing squats hardcore because of the power so the rubbing is insane.
    i need to get stiffer springs and raise it a bit.


    i love the ie3s they are very soft yet they never bottom out the car
    it's taken some deep shit and never hit the oil pan or anything like that.
    they aren't low bois where you have to get all rice'in sideways up a driveway
    i take that shit like a stock suv no prob.


    but it squats hard when flooring it, which i love, but it rubs bad.

    anyway my questions are what springs rates ppl recommend for me considering everything.

    Guessing ground control or ie is the favored choice?

    I'd recommend:

    Front: Sectioned strut housings, 325ix Koni SA's. IE coilover sleeve kit, 350-450lb 2.5" springs, ~6" length. IE race camber plates.

    Rear: IE coilover perch kit, 650-850lb springs, 4-5" length, Bilstein sports or Koni's
    85 325e m60b44 6 speed / 89 535i
