E36 318ti suspension need help!!!

[pennyfan 0]

Hi all, I am new to this forum, need some help on the suspension of my E36 318Ti.

All I know about the TI suspension is, the front one is the same as rest of the E36, but the rear one is the same as E30 rear suspension.

While I am trying to get a set of hi-lo kit from local suspension store, they cannot find TI on their application list, then I told the guy to order E36 front and E30 rear for me, He said the nasty supplier only sell them as a set n cannot take separate order.

Now my only hope is to ordering a full set of hi-lo kit for the Z3 chassis, I once heard about the Z3 chassis is similar to 318TI's (E36 front E30 rear), does anyone here know about it?

thank you very much

Thanks for the quick reply. I will contact him.

Its difficult bcos last owner had engine conversion so its a 6 cylinder 3.0 front. much heavier.. otherwise I can just

get koni or bilstein sport package.

What do you have for me?

[steve R 0]

you bought the ti with the 3liter out of an e46 in it?

[pennyfan 0]

Yes, i bought it off someone in Hamilton. E46 330 engine (M54) with 5sp box.

NZs fastest TI?

Otherwise you could try the Ground Control guys in the US. Quality stuff and they would probably let you order E36 fronts and E30 rear.

Complete Bilstien package (certed) on my compact.

I've done a conversion on mine too. I'm running a M52 B28. I'm using Bilsteins out of an E36 328 Coupe. I had to shorten the rear shocks and I used H&R springs through Keith at H&R
