Hello all,

I have an e36 323i, the suspension on it is just appalling to be honest. shocks have all gone springs are probably fine though and it needs new bushes.

Well I bought new bushes but I'm at a loss at what to do with the rest of the suspension I don't want standard suspension and am thinking more down the route of lowering springs and matching shocks.

I found a full set of Koni springs and shocks for £400 but I have no idea if they are any good. Has anyone had experience with them or would you recommend something else?

Cheers,

Some of the guys on E36coupe.com are saying great things about the jamex coilover kit for about £215 on ebay:

Then you could get all the polybushes for your total £400 budget:

I see your point, it might be OK when new but not last as well as more expensive kits. I'd like to be changing the bushes on a 100k car though, really tightens things up.
