Thema: Fahrwerk, 316i Coupe
----------------------------------------------------------
Hi... I'm a guy from Denmark so i'm gonna write this in english.
First of all here is some data upon my car: BMW E36 316i M43 Coupe, Type 3B 7/1995.
I've been looking at some Fahrwerke at eBay.de but don't know which one to buy. I've just mounted my rims (8x18" ET38 225/40-18) and I already now I have problems on the rear end when i cross a bump (see picture below).
How much can I lower my car? I would like to see some pictures of different coupe's (4 cyl. prefered) and some details about their lowering kits.
What is the main difference between Type 3B, 3/B, 3C and 3/C? I would really like a Weitec kit on my car, but I can only find one which fit 3C.
Here is what I had in mind:
Link
Main concern: 60mm in front
Link
Main concern: Quality
Link
Main concern: Does it fit my car? (9/91- but some kits go from 91-92 thats why I'm concerned)
Link
Main concern: Same as the above mentioned Weitec kit
Link
Main concern: 60/30 is it too low? It does come in a 40/30 version, will it fit better?
Link
Main concern: Quality
Link
Main concern: Does it fit my car?
Link
Main concern: Quality and how would 40/20 look like?
Link
Main concern: Quality
Please tell me which lowering kit you would choose and why. I prefer a price below 400€ please have that in mind and the fact that a 316i is no racer, so I don't need "the top of the top". It's got to be firm and then yet still got be comfortable.
I really hope some of you can help me. I haven't been able to find any help in Denmark. The 4 cyl. coupe is not a common car here. Mine is a importcar from Germany.
