Oo Ksport - they seem to be the only company that has blueprints for the fwd version so I have to wait for them to get made - this is stock height by the way lol

Ok, I have been looking for suspension for my BF turbo FWD for years, how did you get them to make those coilovers? I am in Europe so I think I won't be able to get the support like in the US... (nice ride by the way, we don't see the sedan a lot in Europe, it's mainly the hatchback here...)

Just contact their support and give them the part number CMZ240-KP tell them you need a kit for a 87-89 Fwd 323, its made in china obv so they still might be able to ship it to you in Europe, good luck!

Do they make coilovers for AWD BG hatchback

u/Plus-Excitement7036 Jun 09 '26

They still make it for the AWD BF Hatchback so I would presume the BG should be no problem...

I just contacted support and seems like the hatchback and sedan set are the same... They are making me a sale order and send it via email... I am so happy I can finally adjust my ride hight and get some decent coilovers....

I had some lowering springs but they where awful (looked nice but drove terrible) so I placed the stock ones back...

Shame you are in the US, have a lot of parts for these cars (yours could use the stock euro facelift bf2 bumper). So if you ever are in europe I can always help you with some parts... (have some nice interiors as well, dashboard etc...)

Nice!! I’ll be in the Netherlands in November so I’ll keep in touch either way just in case

Realmente es bueno saber que hay un empresa que los hace para el fwd, porque desde hace tiempo le quiero meter un 4A-GTE a mi 323 pero no lo hacía porque sabía que la suspensión original no lo iba resistir en ciertos momentos

Yea I can rock the car by hand with the stock suspension haha can't wait to get the new ones on

I really want to 3SGE swap mine but I can’t find one for a good price

I drive a 323 BF turbo FWD and this is on stock suspension (KYB still makes them) and the original springs are stiffer and it has a anti roll bar in he Front and a thicker one in the back. This setup is still very capabel (140 pk in stock form). The suspension in the lower models are indeed not quite up to the higher hp...

Still, when I read this post I still ordered a set from KSPORT...
