"The Bilstein Streetline Suspension Kits Product code: BSK116
Bilstein Streetline Suspension Kit. Lowers by 40mm approx.
The Streetline kit consists of four Original Equipment (OE) Spec Bilstein Gas shock absorbers complete with lowered sports springs. This Entry-Level kit proves very good value for money. Ԛ£207.00 (inc VAT)"

Can you use the Bilstein Streetline Suspension kit on a touring ??- I'm assuming you can't
the shocks you can, the springs differ in poundage, the 40mm drop in the sprin/street kits can make it too low at the back, so on my 316i i acdded m-tech springs from the IS to brig it up slightly.

there is a similar thred to this one going on at the mo,

as a point of interest, i'm looking at KW springs at the mo.
