  • e30 coilovers

    Hey everyone I just picked up an e30 and I have wheels for it but I have springs for it as well but I want coilovers for the obvious reasons. I don't know what's out there for these things. I have an e46 and that's a whole different world. I don't have time to search so I figured ide leave it up to you guys on stanceworks. Price brand the adjustability(dampening or not). And how low you can go would be greatly appreciated.

        My setup, GC shortened housings, no rear bar, camber plates.

        Price- $1500


        brand-Ground Control


        the adjustability(dampening or not).
        Dampning adjustable via Koni's included in kit


        And how low you can go-As low as your willing to go. Pic below is the lowest i can currently go without losing a single mm of shock travel. It is also all the way up on my modified strut housings. I could have taken an extra 11/4" out but I didn't want to be forced to run larger heavier wheels/change gear ratios to gain necessairy ground clearance. Currently piecing together a drysump setup(without sacrificing A/C) and brackets to raise the steering rack to reduce bumpsteer.


        would be greatly appreciated. your welcome.

            I saw a guy on r3v using Nex coils and he was pretty low. No idea how good they are for e30's but I know the e34 ones blow rear shocks like no tomorrow if you go low.

            Ground Controls are good, so are FK's and KW's. All will cost about $1500 if you want to get real low.
