silkroad, stance, kts, max, jic

dont settle for megan, godspeed, ksport. Poor design, tend to bounce, dont last that long either. My pillowball mounts on my megans are already worn. My camber plate is like a bobble head after only 10 months.

I am pretty sure most parts are more expensive on BMW's, the GC Coilovers I want are 1,399 and are usually 1,799. H&R's which my bro has run 2000+ too. So I think parts should run him a little lower than what a 330i runs.

well I clicked on the endura-tech link some time and found those for a S13. I wudn't think something like coilovers wud be much more on a BMW opposed to a Nissan.

There aren't a crap load of manufacturer's for E30 parts which is why the cheapest decent set of coilovers is $1799 without discount. I guess the just charge more for most parts because they assume everyone who owns one is rich, unlike me lol. Like the S2000 coilovers from Ground control are three hundred bucks cheaper than the E30 ones. Not fair considering the S2000 already handles better

Stance=$1,000-1,400 http://www.240sxmotoring.com/stance.html
Silkroad=$1,500 http://phase2motorsports.stores.yaho...ormco8924.html
JIC=$1,500-2000 http://www.jic-magic.com/SearchProdu...&CarModelID=44

found those after like 10 minutes of google searching so you can probably find them for cheaper somewhere or get a deal when you contact them. The others were a little harder to find so i didn't even try, someone else on the website can probably help you with them
