I DD race and it's not hard at all to adjust your driving to this set up. Just be sure not to drive without upgrading the shocks and struts. I highly recommend bilsteins. __________________ Come get a ti-shirt

They were "Keepin it Real" when they introduced the 318ti ClubSport in '95 and the 318ti Sports from '96 to '99.
After that... well nothing else really matters. ~Jess | | | | | | 11-25-2010, 06:01 PM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Auburn, Alabama Posts: 206 |
I'm running Bilstein sports and H&R sports. The H&R sports have got to be the best choice for a DD. They aren't wearing out my back tires from camber, it's got just the right amount of height to clear speedbumps and steep driveways, and they're pretty stiff through corners. The bilstein struts are very forgiving over potholes too. | | | | | 11-25-2010, 06:06 PM | #4 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Auburn, Alabama Posts: 206 |
I came across these this morning though. http://www.racelandus.com/p-59-coilo...r-bmw-e36.aspx I've never heard of the company and don't know of anyone with them on their car here. Coilovers for $500 less than what I paid for my H&R/Bilstein setup. Just thought I'd add that. | | | | | 11-25-2010, 06:15 PM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2009 Location: Allentown, PA Posts: 117 |
yes I do plan to get Bilstein sport shocks along with springs, as well as some Rogue RSM's too!! Yes I have heard of Raceland coils, as well as Rokkors. But I've decided to go with sport shocks and either H&R sport or race springs. Thanks for your input though! Anymore thoughts on sport and race springs?? | | | | | 11-25-2010, 09:32 PM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: LA, Bellflower, CA Posts: 3,613 |
one of the members on here has the raceland coilovers. They are actually not too bad of quality for the buck but then again you get what you pay for. it may suffer in some aspects but his setup has been holding strong for about a year now or more. __________________

I've got H&R race springs, I like them, definitely a difference in ride quality but nothing I couldn't get used to | | | | | 11-26-2010, 11:58 PM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2009 Location: MD/PA/DC Posts: 1,629 |

Still very comfy, which is important for me because I drive 150 miles a day. __________________  No more ti. | | | | | 01-19-2011, 04:11 AM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Auburn, Alabama Posts: 206 |
Is anyone else here getting any coil rub on their rear springs? H&R sports that is. It sounds horrible. | | | | |
