Andrew Welcome - smart move. Best thing to do to an e30 is get the suspension properly sorted early. You'll love the difference in handling dynamics and chuckability. Get some konis (talk to the race series guys for a part number) or Bilstein Sports for shocks. Both a fairly good paring for the eibachs. Basket weaves come up semi-regularly on trademe for between $500/600 and 800 depending on size, condition, and tyres. Sometimes you can score a cheaper bargain if you are prepared to look around. Auto or manual??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
APT 195 Report post Posted April 16, 2009 HI BRAVO well firstly its AUTO MAGIC but this will change in the near future, i hope How much should i budget for a brand new set of konis or blisteins ? hmmm might stick with the bottletops for now and just get some nice tires...

bravo 35 Report post Posted April 17, 2009 More than the weaves. Not sure of current prices with the nz $, but say around $1k-1200 for the set? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
