I am running 430lb/5" up front, and 450lb/6" out back.

Keep in mind im not slammed.
My next sprins though may be 650/750 but i worry it may be to stiff for the bilsteins

On my e36 I'm running 750/850
On my e24 I'm running 450/400
Mine are 550/700
I love it but I wouldn't mind a little more stiffness out back. I raised my rear up a bit and I still rub tire all the time and sometimes rim.

You're not taking into the account that the E24/E28 has a true rear coilover, meaning 400# in an E24 is about the same as 600# in an E36.
Ah, the benefits of having true coilovers...
A 650/1100 setup in an E36 would be about the same as my 650/750 setup.Last edited by driggers.a; 06-14-2009, 04:09 PM.Eatin' Babies
