    Used E30 suspension(not stock)

    In a few weeks I will be receiving my E30 from Gregg and one of the main things I will be going to buy first is suspension. The Borbet rims on it now are perfect considering I have a set of 4 extras of them in my basement(1 is broken though, so actually 3) and they are a discontinued rim, so I have back-up Borbets for it.

    Anyways, just looking to see if anyone had a nice complete used suspension set to lower it and get some great handling. I will consider anything and I believe my price range will be somewhere under $400. Perferably under $300, but I am not too sure how good of springs/shocks I can get for that.

    Thanks very much

    This guy named MikeK was selling a decent looking setup for about $350. If I were you, I'd save up a bit and get a new set of Konis and Ireland springs for about $700. Also, if you want handling as your #1 priority you should replace all the bushings and mounts with new OEM or urethane ones first.

    www.e30tech.com and www.r3vlimited.com are good places to look.

    Nonono... he actually wants the suspension. He doesn't want to just throw the money away.

    I have a set of MK springs for an e30. Sebastian might be interested in them tentatively. If you're interested PM me and we can move on from there.

    Yeah I might just save more, but i don't know if i could push $700, because i would also need installation and stuff
