E30 suspension swap from 4 to 6 cylinder

[Jmorley335i]

Hi, i have a 1989 e30 318i that i converted in a 6cyl 535i motor m30b35 i have a 40/60 N-force dropkit and its way too low...can i fit the 6 cyl springs,what is the difference and change in fitment...i cant find coilovers and want to know what would be best?

you just need the 325 front springs the rears are the same on all e 30
there are a lot of coil overs out there they start at 6k up to 10 k depending on brand
the 325 spring and 318 springs are the same size just the tensions are different and go for 40 all round
rather go for hr springs

Hi

Nforce is a load of kak

rather spend money on proper springs... whats your budget?

I have:

Eibach -40 to 30 front -30 rear R 2550
H&R -35 all round R 2565

best will be to get some good dampers on there at the same time (budget permitting)

Thanks! Where can i find the h& r or eibach both sounds good...about in my price range, how much would shocks be..will be better to replace all once.
I am in cape town where can i find here?
