Where to buy B12 kit?
Looking to get a Bilstein B12 Pro suspension kit for my coupe, cheapest I've found is £754 delivered, think that's Larkspeed.
Any tips on where to find it cheaper?
Many thanks in advance.

German eBay mate is best value.
Other wise try nbfr on here as he works for a big car parts company and can get good deals.

No worries, I'd look into other brands too depending on the application you are using them for

Fast road, and maybe the odd track day in the future.
Was just going with tried and tested, and recommendations from others.
I'm open to suggestions

German eBay have them delivered for £693 delivered which I doubt I'll be able to find anywhere else cheaper.

No worries . I doubt you'll get them cheaper than that, maybe worth checking delivery times though? I needed mine asap as it had failed it's mot on a snapped spring.bmwaddict wrote: ↑Thu Sep 07, 2017 3:13 pmCheers Muck.Muckinonthesofa wrote: ↑Thu Sep 07, 2017 3:12 pm Got mine from Euro Performance, at the time, about a month ago, they were cheapest I could find (of UK based firms). £727 delivered.

Delivery time is listed at 6 days from now if I ordered today. Mine is currently on H&Rs, how do you find the B12 kit?

B6 Shocks for the M are different to the standard B8 Shocks the normal kit comes with.
I would be going down the KW cool over route personally.
I have the B4 Shocks on my M3 as they didn't do the B8's and they are good but I will change to coilovers in the long run.
I had the B12 kit on my 3.0i Z4 (B8 Shocks) and it was excellent.

If you already have springs, have a look into Koni Sport Shocks too.
They have adjustability and get good reviews

Are the B6s shorter? I think I read that somewhere.hopz121 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 07, 2017 3:32 pmB6 Shocks for the M are different to the standard B8 Shocks the normal kit comes with.

I had the B12 kit on my 3.0i Z4 (B8 Shocks) and it was excellent.
I have fitted coilovers on previous cars, but I just don't have the money atm for the ones I'd want (over 2k) if I want to do all the other things I have planned this year (wheel refurb, ARBs, performance exhaust system, front end respray)
Plus I don't really need adjustable ride height.
The H&R springs I have fitted currently look pretty old and are a bit flakey so I'll be replacing them as well.
Thanks I did see that a while back, anything will be an improvement on my 100k miles original shocks!Muckinonthesofa wrote: ↑Thu Sep 07, 2017 3:37 pmBig improvement. I put some feedback on this thread I started;
