    If you get onto super4bmw and look for jom E36 compact coilovers they would be a cheap and cheerful setup, as a compact basically uses e36 fronts and e30 rears, unless you wanted to spend a bit more money and get something like bc racings or something like that!

    Just get a pair of front FK coilovers for an E36 if your in a budget and use E30 shocks and springs at the rear as unless you get expensive adjustable dampening and even true coilovers for the rear, all that the cheap kits are is shocks and springs anyway as you display can't use the spring perches anyway as they can't lower the car enough due to there being too little space on an E30 or E36 for a spring ad adjuster and still have some bit of travel on the rear


    If you've a bigger budget, get a set of E36 BCs/Megan/D2s. Could look into getting E36 fronts and true rear coilovers for another car too and adapting them to fit the E30
