Like you said, they have simplified the range. I can see they are aftermarket as the ones from BMW dont have any stickers on them.

Its very possible BMW specified custom droop and travel values for their B6 damper fitted to early sports and some other models with 51mm and smaller struts (lets not even discuss valving). I have two B8's at home, one set is short, the other is not. One pair are from BMW MS and other from Bilstein...

There is too many mixed messages on what is the right choice!

Fitted B6's and Eibach pros to this one on 16's

Im not trying to funny either, but you are wrong, and obviously have not had them side by side or driven an E30 with each damper It seem like you are because the noob is questioning you? You are telling me im wrong but all the info you need is on the Bilstein website so is that wrong too? http://ww...

I guess my issue is that I have 'some' lowering springs on my car now (have no idea what they are or how much its lowered, see pic below) The shocks on the car are pretty much dead and i want a good ride but i want it to be sporty.

B4 is pretty much a standard damper B6 has the shortest damper rod and was standard issue on Mtech 1 sports, very good damper B8 is more heavy duty, fitted to Alpina and Hartge cars but longer stroke/taller damper rod so you cant fit as short a spring that you would be able to with B6 dampers Sorry...

Yep, here is one I did for a mate last year. Straightforward job really.

Cheers guys. Already started parts hunting...
Cheers for the tip with the carpets, thats this weekends job to strip it out.

Hi guys. Been a member on here for a while but never had an E30 to post up until now. Had a few E30's in the past including a tech one sport, 316, 320 etc. Got rid of the last one about 7 years ago so its been a while. Had loads of E36's in that time and just got rid of my E46 Alpina B3 3.3. Had a f...

Its not my cup of tea, but fair play to you Kev for doing something different and doing all the work yourself.
