E86 Suspension - Help me understand the options

I’ve found Lesjofors springs to be fine (I’d be surprised if you could detect much difference between springs in ordinary driving) and used Sachs top mounts all round when I did my suspension over the winter. No knocking.
 
Who needs SE you can have Sport, or better still Eibach. Or just go all out and get coilovers. Or just go off on a tangent and get air ride fitted, low enough to cut the lawn, and high enough to go off road, all at the touch of a button :rofl:
 
Hey Fred, if your keeping costs down is your priority, there is the option of just replacing the rear struts instead of replacing all four. Replace all top mounts and springs including other ancillaries to completely refresh your suspension. :thumbsup:
 
Hey Fred, I don't know whether or not you have the Autodoc App on your phone, but they are offering eibach's for £169.10 plus delivery. You'll have to be quick if you want to pursue that deal though. By the way, the prices online are always more expensive in comparison to the app for some reason. Good luck :thumbsup:
 
I think prices change at 11pm tonight to guarantee degree of discount, otherwise the price will increase. Monday's is always a good day to buy. Today is even better day with the discount being at upto 45%. Good luck :thumbsup:
 
Congrats Fred :thumbsup: Forget buying cheap rear coils, your not going to need them. You've bought yourself a great bit of kit. Get them fitted and enjoy the look(once settled) and the improved drive :thumbsup:

You need to get the shorter bump stops front and rear too. Febi Bilstein are fine.

Am I right in saying that bump stop options are "normal" and "sport", and there are no "lowered beyond sport" options? Is this the one?

Length [mm]: 60,3

I'm hoping I don't regret going Eibach... if SE level Suplex had been available and at a comparatively good price I would have kept it relatively stock... but when you can buy 4 decent lowering springs for such a good price it was rude to say no.

That’s for front. The rears are different. Febi item number 181810.
