I can't remember how much, but compared with Jim's Camaro that I rode in all day your car rolled a fair bit more.

 Re: stiffest conventional springs for an e30?
Turner lists the J stocks at $399 new, so hopefully I can find a used set in the $200-300 range, then I can sell the H&Rs and get some re-valved Bilsteins. I'll pull the rear sway, and throw on a vert front sway and see how the car does in the spring. Im gonna post a wtb tbread on the forums, but keep an ear to the ground for me guys.

 Re: stiffest conventional springs for an e30?
I'll definitely keep an eye out. Depending on my $$ situation at the time, I may be interested in the H&R's.

Haha no we met at the Shawno autoX a couple months back, I rode with you then (have no idea if your suspension setup has changed since then). You were telling me about this site and that's why I joined. I was there with Jim Chartre, just riding along with various people. We started talking while they were drying up the oil on the course.

 Re: stiffest conventional springs for an e30?
E30 Series cars here don't run rear swaybars as part of the rules.
