SIR E30 68 Report post Posted July 29, 2008 It has stock msport springs which are lower than standard. Will had some lower springs in it, but Alison didn't like them so he put the msport ones in.Your right bravo, motorsport springs in the back. But I dont think thats the case in the front, its a bit lower at that end and the springs are very soft compared to the back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice find! Thanks for that, I'm glad you like the wheels! I was hoping I would get that reaction from people instead of the "oh no put your weaves back on youve killed it" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SIR E30 68 Report post Posted July 29, 2008 You wouldn't think that if you saw all 12 cars on my back lawn at the moment? Poor wee things.. Im absolutely stoked with the way it looks on these wheels, wouldnt have it any other way. But dont worry the wheels are the only non-pure thing I will be doing to this car, I still want it to be a BMW not a H***A!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SIR E30 68 Report post Posted September 1, 2008 (edited) Heres a few pics that were taken on sunday. Met up with a few of the Hamilton guys and drove out to Horahora and parked up, beautiful weather and good drive back to town through the twisty back roads!! It was my first big drive with the new shocks and springs. Car handles alot better and rides a little bit lower than before. All thanks to Keith at H&R, big cheers go to Keith for awesome service!

SIR E30 68 Report post Posted September 2, 2008 Looks sh*t hot, has come down nicely. What springs did you end up using in the front?? Im not happy with mine. What car was granny driving. I used a vogtland spring in the front as well as the back, ended up using a 4cyl spring at the front to get it that low. And I chose KYB shocks, in my opinion they are pretty good for what I paid!Fortunately granny wasnt in our group Nice pics. Shame about that Falcon creeping into a couple though!Yea bit of an upset, old falcons are like stains in carpet... You cant make em go away and they stick out like dogs bollocks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apex 693 Report post Posted September 2, 2008 Haha, same as me, KYB and VOGTLAND.. I find them really floaty at the front, more so than standard!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SIR E30 68 Report post Posted September 2, 2008 (edited) Haha, same as me, KYB and VOGTLAND.. I find them really floaty at the front, more so than standard!!It may be because you have the 6cyl spring and I have the 4cyl.. Just a theoryMine aren't floaty at all.. compared to what im used to anyway. I find them quite stiff. Your more than welcome to have a spin to see what you think, I MAY be in auckland on the weekend with the car.

Apex 693 Report post Posted September 2, 2008 Thanks, I'll hold you to that, driving a 2.5ltr E30 might make me hurry up and buy one for mine.. Mine isn’t firm at all, the difference front to rear is very noticeable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
