E30 Zone

Afternoon all - just wondering if anyone had any positive/negative views on ride height for their BMW?

Car is too low at present and I want to raise it but I don't know what the ideal suspension kit would be to buy to allow the car to be a daily driver and good over humps etc... but still giving it a slightly lower stance.

Thoughts on what to look out for on the kits and what you would recommend?

Bilstein shocks and either H&R or Eibach springs. Ideally around a 35mm drop, to keep it sensible for our roads.

Thank you - and any recommendation for a reasonable priced but reliable supplier? I'd rather pay the extra for the quality.

Ordered my B12 kit (bilstein b8 shocks with eibach springs - 30 to 40mm front/30mm rear) from dcperformance.co.uk - £591 cheapest price I've found. Great customer service, they rang me the next day telling me exactly when I'd receive them

For all round use, you can't beat the Eibach pro kit and Bilstein B4 dampers. It gives an excellent ride (you'd be surprised how good), looks good and corners nicely.
