Bilstein

Hi Guys

Which Bilstein Kit would you recommend? Should i Go with complete Bilstein b12 dampers + springs ... or .. should i go with Blistein dampers + H&R springs -- in this case which Bilstein dampers?

Should i replace the struts as well? Which struts should i choose?

This is for r a 2004 plate 3.0 e85.


What do you think?

Do you have a budget to stick to? (including/excluding fitting costs)

Well i saw that the entire Bilstein b12 kit is 800 - 900 pounds. I hope i can fit the front with 200 pounds maximum. i can do the rear myself.

Everyone is using OEM suspension?

Can you please advice ( who changed it ) ?

I fitted a B12 kit to my wife's Skoda Oktavia VRs and I'm happy with it. The ride is slightly more compliant than standard and the damping considerably better than standard. The kit for yours is about £600 plus shipping from http://www.ebay.de/itm/Eibach-Bilst...its=Make:BMW|Platform:E85&hash=item460c5110d4 if I could justify the expense at the moment I would be going for a B12 kit in a heart beat.

Do you know how much B12 lowers the car?
