    sus shudder

    in 1st gear? could be rear subframe bushes...or trailing arm bushes....what do you mean by wobble? a noise? side to side motion? is everything bolted on properly back there (my diff wasnt!) um......cant think of much else right now...what wheels/tyres you running? just out of curiosity

    dump it probs

    how low is it? im running jamex 40 mm progressives, cars still legal....camber is relatively fine....having said that i havnt had new rear tyres on. the problem with lowering e30s is due the the semi trailing arm rear suspension arrangement, as you lower it more and more (or the springs compress) rear camber increases at an exponential rate http://e30m3performance.com/myths/Weight_T...ht_transfer.htm is an article by someone who at least sounds convincing about it...but if your cars not too low....you havnt hit anything have you? my subframe was bent as....before i replaced it i had mental rear camber, probably about 2 inches of tyre on the road...very nasty......try getting a wheel alignment, they should at least be able to tell you if somethings out. you cant buy rear camber adjusting kits as far as i know, but heres a link if your handy with a welding torch http://e30m3performance.com/installs/insta...talls-3/jl_sub/ and in case you wondering heres a schematic of the rear suspension layout.

    Shocks

    any idea of $$ for KYB's? wouldnt they be shorter than stock anyway?
  19. Gus

    decision time

    yeah....go the turbo....or the 2.8.....both should give you a good amount of power....if you want to start going with lots and lots of power....do the m50 swap.....most people round would agree with me in saying rotarys arent that great.....or actually..scrap the m50 swap....persuade glenn (E30 - 323ti) to tell you how he did his 1JZ swap.....very cool

    Shocks

    im looking at changing the 2 front shocks on the ol e30...the ones in there are 16 years old and had stupid low springs in! since bilsteins arent cheap and my student OD is being used already, what sorta shocks are pretty reasonably priced but are decent...i know ollie is running kyb's, how do u find those? how much? i might also look at stock BMW shocks....andrews ones are near new and feel good with the jamexes...btw im running jamex 40 mm progressive springs
