E30 Suspension Package With H&R Race Springs and Bilstein Sport Shocks

This package uses the H&R Race springs with Bilstein Sport shocks to deliver a very capable street, autocross, or track suspension setup. The E30 H&R Race springs are nearly twice as stiff as the stock springs, making bodyroll and weight transfer minimal. This shock/spring package is also used in the SpecE30 club racing series.

The H&R Race springs lower the ride height up to 1.8" (depending on model) with a spring rate close to what we use on racing cars. The lower ride height and stiff springs combine to lower the car's center of gravity and reduce the amount of bodyroll in corners. The springs are progressive rate so they start out at a relatively soft rate and get stiffer as they progress. This helps to keep the ride acceptable on smooth street surfaces (but still very stiff compared to an original stock spring).

We use Bilstein Sport shocks as the dampers and they feature Bilstein's patented and innovative valving system. With this system, small bumps and impacts are absorbed as they should be. But the shocks stiffen for cornering and other suspension motions. It's the best of both worlds as the shock self-adjusts based on suspension motion. These fit with the stock strut and shock mounts, making for an easy and clean install.

Parts list:

1 set - H&R Race Springs (50404-88)

1 pair - Bilstein Front Sport struts (P36-0335 / 34-003350)

1 pair - Bilstein Rear Sport Shocks (B36-2027 / 24-020275)

Fitment note: Front strut inserts fit the larger 51mm strut housings. These were standard for all 6-cylinder E30s, all M3, and 1989-1992 318i/is. Other models used a smaller strut housing which requires a different Bilstein insert.
