If you are thinking of using this car at the track EVER buy the c/os that actually work and you’ll save yourself a lot of trouble…
It’s not a 50% price increase we’re talking about here, more like 15-20% if you find a good used set of coilovers. This is more than you’d lose selling / shipping a cheaper set and then trying to source one that actually works for more serious use later on.
As an engineer I thought you’d appreciate the dyno information Jesse pointed out- it helped point me in the right direction.
Good luck.
As for E36 being a pu$$y magnet… Maybe for big broad shouldered Germans that answer to “Helga”…
