E30 Zone

thanks in advance

about £150 each I believe

is £110 for the pair a fair price then? their a used set look in good nick covered a few hundred mile so he say's

Are the B8's the ones with the BIG FAT pistons(inverted)?

Speak to Simon at C3BMW. I think he said they were about £135 each last week

Andy

yep there the ones

are they any good then?

I got a pair of used B6 fronts from another zoner for £60.

B6 are also inverted but are shorter and suit vehicles lowered more than 35mm

so is it a good deal for the b8's im very tempted

I payed £300 for all four from evolve.

EDIT. Brand new!

I got the same deal as Barry, this was about 18 months ago, dont know if its still on but it was a very good price

Same here, got them from Evolve and arrived in a couple of days

I looked into these a couple of months ago and found that the price had increased significantly from £300, I think it's because of the poor exchange rate of the pound against the euro. The cheapest I found was a set on ebay for £435, the link doesn't want to work on here but do a search for 'e30 bilstein' on ebay and you'll find them.

i cant remember exactly how much i paid for mine from evolve but i do remember it was £50 cheaper than the next cheapest quote id got.

Thats Neil Macdonalds company.

Autom@c.

Is that a good or bad thing Barry?

I didn't get a price from Evolve as the e30 bit of their website was/is under construction.

Christ, they're almost after doubling in price.

Just checked the prices of Bilstien B12's (the ones I was going to get)... they have sky-rocketed in price on the euro performance site to £770 for the 325i. Ouch.

Whats the difference between B8's, B12's etc?

You think that's expensive... Try getting E36 M3 ones so you can use E36 running gear.. Ouch.

325i Cab are still £98 a corner and 325i Touring rears are too. Maybe they still have some old stock at the old price?

I got them just before they jumped in price and were only 315 euro and about 340ish delivered


The B12s are B8s but only with matched Eibach springs. Bob_s has a set on his car I think.
I have B8s with Eibach springs on my iS and find them great.


At 770 for a B12 kit, it really asks the question would you be better off getting coil-overs.
Even BC-racing coil-overs are abit cheaper and GAZ are only a few hundred more...

I just got a set from set from Kam racing today http://www.kamracing.co.uk/manufacturer ... -1053.html -£388 delivered. They where well the cheapest. They arrived in two days direct from ecp -I looked up what they would cost there -£517
