Guys,

I'm looking to upgrade the suspension on my 318iS as there's just a bit too much air between the tyres and the arch, and I'd like to banish body roll etc. for a more sporty feel.

I don't want the car to feel compromised in any way though - i.e. not bone-jarringly hard in the ride department. Also I'm not happy with just wanging on a set of lowering springs as they never quite work right - fine for numpty's thraping their cars on a ring road, but probably not right for me giving it proper stick on country B-roads....

So what set-ups can be recommended that represent a good improvement over the standard M-tech set-up? (an idea of costs and suppliers too would be good!)

Thanks!

Got Gmax with 40mm drop on mine. Bit soft for my liking but good feedback and cheap! My mate had billsteins - very good in every way but expensive!

Looks loads better lowered and prices Ԛ£250 and Ԛ£600 respectively
