<![CDATA[E30 suspension question]]>I will be looking to buy a e30 around feburary and I have a question about coilovers. Do the Raceland coilovers have rear ride height adjustment? I was also looking at the JOM Bluline coilover kit on ECS tuning. Same question on those. Or any suggestions for a set that is adjustable in the rear and are in the 500 dollar range. I am asking because I have read some reviews and the people talk like there is no adjustment just a lower spring and a shock. I want to be able to adjust height front and back. Also I don't want to spend a fortune on modding a e30 as my e92 gets most of the love. Thanks for any help.

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?

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 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.

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

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 then 16's it is. Maybe. I do know they cost a bit less and WIDE tires are PLENTIFUL IF YOU WANT TALL SIDEWALLS FOR MUSTANG AND F-BODY APPLICATIONS

Fixt

I know I wasnt thrilled with the 235/245 width 16" tire selection
