Hi there
My 1989 E30 325i Sport Coupe with AC is currently running an H&R Kit 60/40 kit which the dampers are failed and the car is too low:
I've decided on a B12 Pro Kit and I emailed Bilstein for help with which kit to buy, they suggested the two following kits saying pay attention to the axle loads, but I am still at a loss of which is the correct kit to go for please:
The 101 kit has 825kg front load and 905kg rear load.
The 165 kit has 865kg front load and 945kg rear load.
My car is very low on the H&R 60/40 kit, too low, especially at the front, so I'd like it to sit about 10-20mm higher in the front and 5-10mm higher in the rear. The ride is also a little harsh on the H&R kit but this I suspect is because the dampers are old and blown.
Any help picking which kit is ideal for my car please, again its a 1989 E30 325i Sport Coupe with Air Conditioning, Sunroof, electric windows, MANUAL.
Thank you in advance.
