[QUOTE="Chris Cab, post: 70556, member: 109"] Trying to balance a car out with stiffer springs in the front is really not a solution.........the best handling car will have 50/50 weight distribution and throwing an appx 60kg heavier engine in will definitely upset the E30's near 50/50 weight distribution. As I previously mentioned though, you can gut the engine bay of all non-essentials to get the weight distribution back to normal, but I assume you would want to keep all of those non-essentials for daily driving. If all you do is fang your car around town with alot of power & torque, then the big six might be fine for you. Personally I don't think it's worthwhile since there are other options that fit better. Visit E30Tech.com to find the threads on altering S50 cranks to fit the M20. Diego has a great thread including pics of his progress. Good luck whatever you do :) [/QUOTE]
