E30 suspension question
-
What about 225/50? That should fit without looking monster truck.
-
ClassE what year and model is your car?
1989 325is
-
I have another question. Witch e30's if any come with a LSD? Otherwise what am I looking at cost wise to put one in?
-
Optiona on all models. You can snag a diff up for $250 or less. E28 diff's will sawp in to if you change the cover and side flanges.
Would I just reuse the cover and side flanges from the exsisting diff thats on the car?

Yes

Well thats awesome. A LSD for my e92 is about 900-1000 bucks

Whats would be the best rear end gearing?
-
$50?? I need your supplier.
Best gearing depends on your planned usage, street , highway, track, autocross
3.73 is the stock diff and a good fit for the non boosted m20 in the MT 325i/is. 4.10 is stock for the 318is
More detail here on choices:
-
3.73 really is spot on and the easiest ratio to find. I did a 3.73 for a year after i did my manual swap and it fit the car real well. I was craving more acceleration and I ran a 4.10 for a few years and the extra short 1st gear drove me nuts. Passing rarely required downshifting though. I now have a 2.93 (because of the snail) and the long 1st gear is a lot nicer for driving around town. Ideally i would have a 3.25 diff but i wasnt able to find one locally.

I have a diff out of an e28 that is LSD and 3.something, need to clean up the tag more but I will let ya know.

So you might have one available if I need it once I get a car? I have to wait for tax return cash before I can pick up a car. I would like to have all my details worked out for the most part in advanced.

I am running koni yellows with vogtland springs and my e30 rides great. Racelands tend to blow shocks pretty quick from what I heard from friends that have them. Plus the general ride isn't very great.

How low is your car on that setup? Could you post some pics?
-
Lowered it yesterday on KYB struts and h&r race springs. E90 spring hats up front. I'm pretty happy with the results.
