If your talking about the suspension kit its not great because of the springs. It uses Venturi ones. Non progressive and way too soft.
Youve sent me a PM saying it will cost you Ԛ£375 for just the shocks. Your better off buying the H&R cup kit and saving shit loads of money too.
Anyone with the Cup kit can confirm how good it is. E30Adam, karan, Simon13 (uses thes springs), Jimbob.......the list goes on.

You can also go for 4 Koni Sport Shocks (the ones with the shorter rods) for Ԛ£385. Fully adjustable and guaranteed fun factor! They go from stock soft to very hard.
If your defo want the Bilstien Sport shocks then they are Ԛ£370 through the shop - take 7-10 working days to arrive.

I am running Bilstien E30 M3 front shocks and E30 M3/325i rears and have to say I am very impressed with them, the only thing that lets them down is the Cr*p boge springs so may invest in some H & R springs when I get round to it.

I had bilsteins + H&R springs on my old E30. Was very good but very hard.
What really annoyed me is all the cars with the H&R cup kit handled better and rode so much smoother. Hence I bought the Cup kit for my touring.
Its all down to the fact that the H&R cup kit has matched springs and shocks. Mixing and matching is usually very hard to get right.

Matched kit is going to be better.
Your getting Billies in the H&R anyway.
Your saving quite a few quid too!
Lots of references on the zone that say the H&R kit is excellent.
