Regarding e30's suspension...

[EuJax]

Hi all,I went to a mechanic today and have my four suspension checked and to my surprise, he said my e30, which i just bought about a week, is still running on original absorbers and unchanged and 'still' running well. The reason why the rear feels soft is because of soft coil spring. What do you all think? He suggest that i change the coil and leave the absorbers. Not quite convince but really the absorbers still looks okay, no oil leak and so. Another thing, is it okay to fit in M3's lower arm bush into my e30 m40? Would it be wise? Should i stick to original m40's bush? Thanks all.RegardsJacky

:blink: When did u get your car? Oh... senyap2 only ah? Anyways... what year is your car?

Maybe he meant original as in it was changed to an original absorber rather than an aftermarket one. Double check on this.

Not really a pro, but i think the M3 bush would be more durable and last longer. Any comments from other sifus?

the m3 offset got 2 type. One is the original whereby it gives a n'tive camber offset and i think increase castor a little.

where else the "other" m3 is just solid round surface and it's harder.

Else, the original is standard. If your ride is standard and intention is to keep it that way, just stick to standard.

But i have being using the "other" m3 offset so far and it's ok.
