Give your classic 3 Series the fast-road chassis it deserves.

A superb upgrade for UK B-roads, commuting and spirited weekend driving without the complexity of adjustable coilovers.

We run this exact setup on customer E30 builds and the feedback is consistently excellent. Owners report tighter body control, confidence under braking and a planted feel at speed. If you are searching for an E30 handling upgrade, sport shocks and springs bundle or a performance suspension kit for 316i, 318i or 318is, this is the proven choice.
