Have always wanted to own a E30 since younger days purely attracted by it look. Bought a E30 M40B18 some months back and have been searching for more knowledge for it. When I came across this malatbimmer.com and notice there are so many E30 enthusiast and sifu here and I thought this is a forum that I can always refer to. Since than I have been frequently here to look for more info and it has never disappoint me. Cheers!

Thanks guys for the warm welcome, my apology for the inappropriate. As for my E30, had done up the engine to eliminate the noisy lifter by changing all of it and since already open it up, changed the cam too. Cosmetically, had change to mtech 2 body kit.
Now looking for Mtech seat and perhaps later a half cut engine. Any clues. Thanks

Dude, very nice car.

But if you're using Eibachs then you need to run Bilstein B8's actually. Eibach springs in itself are soft and because of that are really low as well. Bilstein b6's are long stroke shocks like Bilstein HD (blacks). In fact even thier damping rates are not far off. Both can be used for mtech springs or H&R springs who drop is minimal but for springs which give a tremendous drop by more than 25mm and the sort need Bilstein B8's by right cos they are short stroke absorbers.

But no worries as handling wise HD's are pretty ok too....a lot of malats are running this setup and they whack corners like nobody's business. And it's more comfortable too. B8's a bit too stiff when it comes to roads that wallow and also yellow strips.

Secret tip : Try using BOGE Turbos. they are cheap and are short stroke too and they cost slightly more than HD's. Have sat in a car running these absorbers with lowering springs and they are awesome. Plus they are not expensive like B8's. And they are ori.....Lots of Bilstein is coming from China nowadays...!!!!

Thanks bro for your explanation and tips, but is little to late to do anything as $$ have spent. Will be wiser the next time.
