E30 coilovers or spring/shocks

[B C]

Yep, just as straight6pwr said, 6k/10k would be like h&r race spring rates

I had H&R and Billys on my car and swapped over to BC's. I will always suggest BC's if you can afford it.

i would think you have to if you order them. I believe the 'e30' kit is going to have unbalanced rates like 6k/6k or 8k/8k

Okay I'm running into an issue. I was going through about to order the bc racing br series coilovers and I called the company as well asking about this. I guess they no longer provide rubber top mounts for the e30 coilover sets, only pillow ball. Now I did some reading up on the pillow ball top mounts and people were saying that the ride isn't gonna be as smooth as the rubber top mounts. I guess I really don't have a choice cause thats all they offer. Should I just go for it anyways or maybe look at a different brand?....did they use to have rubber top mounts or was it always this way?

This just for the front coilovers, the rear shocks have rubber tophats. I should also include that the guy from bc racing said that they do this so they can include camber plates for adjustment.

i don't think i've ever seen a coilover set for an e30 that had rubber top mounts.  'pillow ball' camber plates are the norm.

And they ride fine on wisconsin roads?

'ride fine' is very subjective. the ride quality doesn't bother me.

I would see spring rates attributing much more to ride quality than using camber plates vs isolated mounts.
