How does it feel on the bilsteins? I'm seriously considering this kit for mine
Sorry for the late reply guys, been away and not been able to jump onto a computer.
It feels amazing on the Bilsteins, I have had the E46 M3 CSL geometry set up on it as well.. makes for a much better turn in, slightly more tail happy but still neutral. Also has a little less tram lining as the wheels are basically aligned to 0.

How much did you pay for the b12 kit? Any pics of before and after?
I paid £697 from Venom.. to be honest I uhmm and ahh'd whether to do it for ages, when I first looked prices were at around £620 but then I looked again (post Brexit) and most places were closer to £800 so to get the price I did, I was fairly happy. I haven't had a chance to take pictures just get, but will try get some after I clean the car.

which b12 set up did you go for? can you upload a picture? I can't decide between the 30mm drop and 20mm drop from SE
The part number of mine is this - (46-181251) Bilstein B12 Pro Suspension Kit - However, thats for a Sport Coupe.. The thing to keep in mind is that if yours has the Sport sus already, you need to minus the drop from SE to Sport.. so it's only approx 15mm and 10mm lower.

I'm going to have to..my car feels pants. Did you change any bushes?
My car was already fully Polybushed so Front Lower Control Arm Bushes, Front ARBS, Rear Control Arm Bushes and Rear ARBS.
At the time of doing all of the bushes, I replaced front drop links and front lower control arms.
After fitting the Bilsteins I got new Tie rods and Track rod ends, purely as I've covered 120k and I thought they'd need freshening up.

Massive difference, especially when shocks are shot, well worth doing.
Oh 100% I can't believe the difference it has made.. feels like a brand new car in terms of chassis control.

I fitteds a B12 kit onto my ///M roadster 3 weeks ago.
Excellent handling although I had to play around with tyre pressures as I have Continental Contact Sport 3 tyres.
B12 kit of shocks and Eibach springs £717 delivered from iTec Tuning in London.
Excellent service from them.
What tyre pressures are you running now?
I must admit, mine feels fine but I am running Michelin PS4 all round.
You may have just jinxed your rear springs though. :wink:
