Just order some hottuning coilovers for my BMW E36 325i - anyone used them and what are they like?
Car will be used on road, track and drift. Its not a daily driver so would prefer it to handle well when on the limit as opposed to pottering around town.
Reviews please...

I have to disagree with Zippys comment, i though for the money they were spot-on.
I had them on my mk3 Golf GTi and they did what i wanted them to, which was stiffen up the ride and got the car sitting how i wanted on the TT rims i had at the time.
I'd defo get another set if the need arises....

to be honest i know they will not be great but its only for use on the drifter and as long as the car sits lower and stiffer then they have done their job - i dont want to pay too much for them as the car only costs 460 quid ![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)
i know there are quite few of the drift lads using cheap coilovers without issues so just wanted an idea i these will be upto the job.
Cheers for the feedback guys

bought a set for a mk2 golf.smothered them with white grease and left them to the mercy of our weather for 2 years.for the price i thought after 2 years i would just bin them and get another set.i cleaned them up after the said 2 years and stil look like new so kept them on so no complaints from me

I use them on the MK3 VR6 Track car. for the money I was actually suprised how they performed.
didnt go stoopid low but enough to get it on trailer

mid corner. it does lean but not to much to affect handling
