Coilover help

[Aaron_497]

So I was looking at putting whole new coilovers in my car and after looking around i found a ksport system... apparently they fit according to numerous sources but I took a look at my stock suspension and a coilover install on e36 bmws. I really don't see how they would fit does anyone know?

Just wanted to throw out this option. Very affordable and well liked by E30 guys

actually I was looking for something more along the performance side of suspension to kind of tune up my car so it handles just amazingly... do you know if any e36 coilovers fit the ti?

When you say "Fit", the answer is yes, the standard e36 kits will bolt in. But that is not the true answer to your question...

Coupes and Sedans have a much taller shock and different spring rates for the rear, and the fronts are generally configured for the heavier m5x motor in the front. That means that those kits are not setup proper for the ti... There are good coilover setups specifically for the ti out there, but they tend to be harder to come by, as the ti is less popular in the US.

You may have better luck finding a set for a 4cyl Z3, which is much closer to a ti in weight and suspension configuration.
