Yellow speed racing makes excellent coilovers (not really coils, but the only way to properly set up the car). I forgot where I bought them to be honest. I had them on my drift car.

Or check ebay/amazon for good deals on eibach/h&r/vogtland or b&g springs

If you want to be a cheap ass and ruin the suspension geometry, sure - go for it. Have fun blowing out your strut towers.

Really now? I figured that was fairly self explanatory... as it's saying to not do E36 crap as it introduces a change in suspension geometry and overloads the strut towers.

If you want to be a stance stance dork and do that, fine.

Or just totally ignore everything I've mentioned before and head over to stance works were they'll suck on your toes and direct you to throw some janky Racelands on your car.

I've also found coilovers on gecko, CATuned, and yellow DPS. Anyone have feed back on any of these coilovers ?

Not exotic but what worked for me was H+R lowering springs, Bilstein Sport shocks and struts, Sportline swaybars. Not an incredibility stiff ride but cornered like it was on rails. Need to be careful with cans, box turtles, etc. as it had about 4" of clearance at the crossmember. I miss that setup so I'm doing it again with a 95 E320.
