ground control sells a "coil over" kit for the E21. It's not a true coil over, but has ride height adjustment. It'll run ya 400 bucks for 4 springs, threaded collars, adjusters, and hats. It's a good deal for the price.
nic.

Ground Controls are a great deal for the money but if you just want springs i would go with H&R sports. Suspension Techniques also has a spring set but doesnt drop it as much. Tire rack has the H&Rs for 199 and NOPI online has the susp. Tech. but i dont remember the price. Im pretty sure they are less than the H&Rs.

Ive heard that eibach no longer makes any for the e21 but i might be wrong. But if they do make them there usually a little bit more expensive. Maybe could get some used ones and i heard that really good.

I have a set of BAS springs on my 82 323i and they are very nice. Lowered the car about 1.5 to 2 inches. If you have a tall spoiler on the front you will have to be careful of scraping the ground. I recommend using the sport or HD Blisten shocks with the BAS springs. I used Blisten touring shocks and the ride is too bouncy.
Send an email to Supreme Power Parts before you go buying anything. They saved me over $100 on my Eibach/Koni setup over the Tirerack and threw in free shipping as well because I bought both shocks and springs :alright:

I bought the Eibach Pro kit for $150 from PartsQuest.com, the only problem it took like a month for them to arrive. Now I am looking for some good shocks.
Nopi has Eibachs for $249, Suspension Techniques for $180, and a british brand, Spax for something like $150, but they are special order........
