    In my opinion that's way more power than the rear suspensions of these cars han adequately handle. Having a bunch of power isn't any fun if you can't get it to the ground.

    The rear of these cars can handle a lot of power, but you need to bolster the diff mounts and make sure you use axles from one of the more powerful (Z3 MCoupe, etc) . Stiffer springs and dampers to manage the exta-sudden weight xfer and your gold. I've seen a good number of 400HP+ E30s at the track and they get out of corners pretty well when setup right.

    I'm trying to decide what I want to up my rates to as we speak, currently sitting at 350/500. Thinking of going 450/650
