    Where can I get coilovers or drift spec suspension??

    Hi there,

    I am looking to uprate my suspension on my E36. I will be using the car for drifting. Where can I get either coilovers or good shocks and springs from??

    Please let me know what you think...

    Many thanks,

    Kish

    what is done to this drift car? these cars need a lot of rear end work to be able to do that sort of thing safely if you don't want to rip the rear sub frame apart probably want to get a really steep rear end with an LSD as well, no matter any way....

    There are plenty of places to find coilovers. Seems like alot of people use Ground control or Bilstein kits here. I don't know too much about setting a car up for drifting as far as spring rates and such. You may want to ask about that in the track section. I guess you could get a really stiff rear swaybar and get the rear end sliding around. I personally find it hard to get a good drift going in my car but it definately isn't set up for drifting. I know Turner, bavauto, bimmerworld sell the bilstien pss system and pss9 system, I know at least one of them sell GC and I think with those you can tell them what spring rate you want. Most stuff you find for e36 is for road racing or auto x though.

    I find it unlikely that this will ever happen !
