I'm looking at suspension upgrades for my 328i Sport with an eye on occassional track use. Anyone have any expertise, recommendations or references to those with the knowledge please?

I'm using the GHA stuff on my 328i coupe track car. No quality complaints here, I've never had them go off or overheat or anything like that.

The only issue that popped up was the rear springs. As supplied they're set to a length suitable for a fully furnished 328i, once I gutted mine the rear was way too high even on the lowest settings, so I had some shorter ones made.

They're at the budget end of it all, but to be honest without driving something with super fancy kit on, you'd never know. I'm currently looking at changing cars, the 328 is getting too broken, so I'm going to swap all the good bits to a 325i saloon, and I'm not planning on getting new shocks, so they're decent enough.

Just fitted some KW Clubsports to mine.

I cannot tellyou how much better than the cheapo coilovers I had on before they are.

Remarkable, but dear...£1600 fitted and geo'd.
