[QUOTE="TroyV, post: 8835824, member: 28469"] That is an awesome choice.....the car looks clean and straight....I'm jealous. :) There is a ton of support for the platform. You can really get that car happening for cheap. I would recommend a used J-stock suspension...there are a lot out there in good shape for cheap. You'll need updated/upgraded rear upper shock mounts, probably new bushings everywhere. If you have the aluminum front control arms, you'll need to check the ball joints closely. Lastly, you REALLY need to keep an eye on the cooling system. T-stat, the T-stat housing, water pump, and radiator are all weak points. As long as those items are taken care of, the car is almost bullet proof on track. I have a lot of labor hours in E30 cars. Even in 325is form, on the J-stock suspension, the car will turn better than almost anything you've driven to date. and it is cheap enough that if it blows up...you can walk away from it. [/QUOTE]
