Eibachs & Bilsteins.

I'm looking to go down the route of Eibachs & Bilstein B4 and wonder if anyone is thinking of selling ?

Preferably new but get in touch if you have decent used stuff available or any links for the cheapest online suppliers

When you say Eibachs are you referring to lowering springs? If so you really want B8's as they are shorter and better suited to lowered cars.

I used tdcautomotive eBay seller for my shocks, more expensive than buying from Germany but UK seller and UK stock so arrived within a couple days!

B4's are fine to use with lowering springs up to 40mm. There's loads of info on here regarding this.

Yeah I don't really want to go down the B8 route, I don't want a rock hard track car feel and the general consensus of opinion is that B4s are ok :roll:

The konis seem to give a softer ride in general when compared to the billys but dont seem to last too well, if you believe the car forums.
That said I was tempted by some koni fsd's before I went with b4s but they don't do them for the e85. Yes the e46 stuff will fit but the dampening will be all wrong as they're a fair chunk heavier
