Why not buy springs made for an e21?

If you want to make your own coilovers just use Rally Design components or buy the finished article from Gaz at www.raceperformancemodified.com

had a look and the springs rally design supply are the same but different rates! works out cheaper for the ebay jobs also.

reck because 60mm is for knob gobblers gays and confused people. i want 80-90mm :)

80-90mm, DIY coilovers or GAZ. If you do DIY coilovers it would be best to shorten the struts and use shorter inserts (E30 2" shorter, saxo 3-4" shorter)

I can lower my e21 so the sills sit on the floor and im using the rally design coilover conversion kit, costs about £200 and gives you decent hieght adjustable suspension. then its just a case of buying decent dampers but if your not too fussy bumping around the place then just stick with the stock ones
