hello lads right im doin lots on my car tuesday sooo much its unreal really i cant wait one big thing i am doing is putting a new H&R cup kit on 60 - 40 mm just wondering wat the feedback is on it will i notice alot of difference from a 20 yrs old mtech suspension kit hahahah!! tell me all guys im excited would be pleased to here and see some pics too cheers ian..

anyone??

ive got the 40mm h&r springs but aint fitted em yet sorry

I've got it, easy to fit and absolutely excellent.

Pretty cheap off the zone shop too!

Just got the 35mm Cup Kit off ebay so will know soon!

Oh forgot, mines a 60/40 as pictured in the sig.

Hi

I've just had a H & R Cup Kit fitted (-60/-40) to my 325i Cab.

No idea yet what she drives like yet as I pick her up tomorrow and drive her back from Kent.

Cant wait

Forget the 200bhp under the hood, if you don't have the suspension to get you through the bend then it's wasted

H&R Cup Kit was easily the BEST mod to my old car! Hands down a winner, shame I had 17" wheels causing quite a bit of understeer

Hello mate .... I was in the same boat. Changed my 19 year old set up for the 60/40 kit on my cab.
WOW what a difference .... the smile you get on your face while cornering!
Worth every penny !!

Its great if you dont live in London. Personally I dont like the 60/40 drop, too low and causes excessive rear tyre wear.
I will either be going to 35 springs or some M3 springs.

nope i dont live in london no more!! and ive worked out the speed bump route i just hope itll go over the slope in my drive hehehe itll be a laugh im sure i dont mind i have a aim for the car to end up track spec so not too worried providing i change everything!!

Well I live in North East London and in fact my street has 'traffic calming measures'. It's a pain but at least it stops you hitting 60+ in a residential road. Also, there's a school at the end of my street so speed is a definite no-no. You just got to take your time and negotiate the bumps and watch out for the children.

That said, my Cab. is a second car and is on a limited mileage policy so it won't be going out that much except for the summer

When I do take her out I will be extra, extra careful.

cant wait get my kit monday thanks sal!!

along with all the bits from bmw tomz!!

2 x new lower arms inc ball joints ,
2 x new front top mounts
2 x new e46 m3 cabby rear top mounts
2 x front and rear drop links both sides
2 x rear subframe bushes being done
2 x rear wheel bearings
the full H&R cup kit
Full service inc Cam belt change not due yet but worth doin & tensioner , diff oils changed and gearbox oil changed ,
Tappets adjusted slightly

alot of the above is for my piece of mind but some needs doing ! i cant wait till shes all done theres many other things to be added over time!

Ian i thought u had no money?!

cupkit is great, for the money nothing touches it. I've only got the springs but it they did me proud round the ring last weekend.
Looks good too, speed humps are no real problem either just go slow

BUT

ride is a bit sh!te, plus i haven't tried multistory car parks yet!
Also if u have wide wheels they will rub on the back so it limits u to 15bbs or 16inch hartges/RD wheels. 8j alpinas rub bad on the back underfull acceleration or with 2 peeps or more
Tyres do get munched too. If u fit eccentric trailing arms bushes chances are the smaller wheels will rub on the back too!

Multi-stories are just about do-able, just special angles or anything just take your time with them.

cup kit is great... but if you can stretch to coilovers get them instead

hahaha simon i havnt got no money m8 but as u know urself self employed is worth while if i do 10 days work its as much as most get in one month! i do exhibitions just waitiing for the air show now~! may time i done a 90 hour week last week so can piss all this!! i dont ask for alot just spend accordingly........
Cant wait till shes full drift spec though!! she will be the daily slag well has been for 6 months now i will be getting rear arches and kit sprayed next though!! then outside will be v nice too

Your H should have a chain so it might be a little difficult to change the chain to a belt.

Andrew

i think hes talking about his 325 dude

the H is in a bodyshop i think?

Kit fits well, handles great and the ride is pretty good all things considered Ian.

Mahmood has his cab back tonight so should be able to provide some 1st hand experience anytime soon.

I did some phat speed humps in her two up today ( 60/40 BTW) no pipe,sump,floor contact and these were the ones that pass through the centre of the car only, if you get me?

Mate, it made a cab handle very well considering they feel like their hinged in the middle , to me anyway

give the springs time to settle, my sport used to rub the centre box on those speed humps ant on my own

Agreed dude, another 15mm or so to drop out on the cab yet, Mahmood is not going to daily this one though so he'll be sweet

you sorted those windows yet BTW ?

windows i'm lost?!

He means your electric windows.

come on ANDREW WAKEY WAKEY!! lol i have 2 e30s m8 a tech 1 sport and the h35 and dont u think i dont know its chain driven lol o deeer"!

wat i dont know about my cars isnt worth knowing m8!



and i dont go shouting about wat im doin with the h35 ever but i can clarify shes in a very very good coachworks!
