Best suspension on a budget???

[jasso]

Hi guys just wondered what is the best cab lowering suspension kit on a budget have looked at spax supersport 60mm/40mm but bit confused any recomendations????

[bss325i]

What is you budget?

[jasso]

About 250

[pac1982]

What about one of the ebay suspension setups cost around £180, never used one mind so can't say if there any good

[Dezzy]

It depends on what you want to do. My H&R springs were £150 and the ride is perfect IMO. They are -35 mm. If it was me I would fit these and standard replacement shocks. If your going low 60/40 then any old sh!t will do. It will drive rubbish on any of the kits you can get for £250.

[jasso]

Ok but has anyone used that spax supersport suspension as its shocks and springs also fk and kw shock and spring kit within the budget but dont know how they perform

[Brianmoooore]

I have experience of Spax dampers.
What you save in initial costs, you will pay out many times over in remedial dental work.

If you're on a budget just get like 35 or 40mm springs, you don't have to change the shocks. My koni springs make a smooth ride.

[jasso]

but i do need 60/40 so how much will i have to stretch my budget??

Euro car parts do a suspension kit that comprises of 4 biltstein B4 shocks (Mtech equivialnt) and 40mm springs (not sure what make) which was about £250.

The ebay cheapo kits are made by hottuning and are not very good.

Also, if you put any lowering springs on old standard shocks they will soon fail and you will have a terrible ride and crap handling!

Up to 40 are fine on standard shocks.

Any more info on this kit?

Whatever you do, dont buy cheap springs!!

The Eibach Pro Kit is excellent, but i dont think they do a 40/60 drop...for a good reason

I said on old standard shocks!

As i said, they will soon fail!

Phone up euros and ask.

KW gear is good quality for the price but will give a harsh ride depending on ride height

Oh yeah i forgot some zoners have all the ECP ref numbers stored on there hard drive/brain, if you can sit on the internet at work i'm sure you can make a phone call.

[Ace 325i]

^Sorry for askin' mate. Was just a friggin thought. And no it isn't as easy to make a phone call for me as to surf the internet.

[brewer]

Stop bitching girls

[bss325i]

Do you want me to fit it for you as well?!

[Ace 325i]

^Nah mate you might strain ya back lol.

[Dezzy]

Lazy cooont BSS325i dont work

I think he should get a fooking job then. Maybe he could strat ringing ecp for ref numbers?

Now girls stop throughing your Christmas prezys out the pram. Play nice.

[Ace 325i]

or tell anyone who asks him for help/advice to go fck'em selves

Seriously...was just a question..get over it.

Im just curious as their is a big price difference between the ECP mentioned kit and the other option of going down the coilovers/springs route. Compromise in quality?

Dont worry pac - I ain't askin u

You started a thread asking about budget suspension so myself and others answered. Are we all "acting E30 god like"?

Your the one bitching because someone suggested you dont be so lazy and look it up yourself! You have a f*cking computer in front of you!

[Ace 325i]

Maybe its work just before new years eve. Anyhow - sorry if I've upset or annoyed anyone with my words!

I'm looking to do the suspension on my car and the 'ECP kit' seems to be in my budget. However, I don't want to compromise on quality and if the coilovers would be a better bet, I'd rather save a few pennies and be patient!

Nar i'm sorry matey i'm in a bad mood today

I've got an Apex kit on my car and I can't fault it for the money. Think it was around the £250 from europerformance. Don't even consider Spax stuff - it's far too harsh. I had a spax PSX kit (-60mm) before and it was far too harsh for the road even on the softest setting and the car sat way lower than 60mm. My Apex kit lowers by 35mm and the car sits perfectly now and the ride is firm but comfortable.
