e36 325i suspension setup suggestions?

[KingKalie]

What are your opinions on the best suspension setup for an e36? no coilovers only shock and spring setups, something that handles nice, gives nice stance (about 40mm or so drop) something that doesn't kill the driveability yet ads stability, please share your opinions and experience

This is the setup I have been considering the longest, how do you find the ride quality? how many K's have you put on this setup?

Bilstein shocks and H&R springs is the combo I used, flipping amazing and out classes the E46 Msport suspension by miles. :thumbs: I believe using Eibach springs also delivers good results. note however that this setup costs slightly more than a budget coil over setup but definitely handles and feels better.

Just the springs until I can get either the Bilstein or Koni STR.T.

Your car rides/handles great as is. That's why I asked.

And also, where did you get this strut and spring setup from and how much did it cost you?

Nice looks good, that's the fitment I'm going for, how much did this suspension setup cost?

I imported my setup from turner motorsport at the time because these items were not readily available locally and local suppliers were more expensive. if I recall I paid R12000.00 in total.

You can try http://www.crsperformance.co.za/about-us/ for local HnR.

Bilstein sometimes GW has they might have to special order though. And maybe try Imcomex.
