Suspension kits.

[ocallen]

I have a 1990 325 Touring that I want to fit lowered springs and sports shocks to, what do people think I should fit? I dont carry heavy loads, normally just two of us in the car.

h&r cup kit seems very popular
also full mtec setups nice Daz

[Dan318-is]

i go an mtec set up its good

but iv heard jaw dropping stories about Hn R cup ktis mate

also bilstein are meant to be good

[M5pilot]

The H&R cup kits are excellent.

There are two versions - 35mm all round lowering with matched shocks or the 60/40 lowering with matched shocks.

Prices are around Ԛ£325 - Ԛ£350 for both kits but I have to go back and confirm this.

It realy is the best value stuff out there.

The other alternative is H&R lowreing springs with Bilstiein shocks

Springs = Ԛ£100
Front Bilstinins = Ԛ£200 a set
Rear Bilsteins = Ԛ£160 approx (wil have to check) for a set.
Total = Ԛ£460+

[gcorky]

so who supplies full h+r for touring 6 cyl?????????????????????

[Dan318-is]

m5pilot can get it u cheap pal

PM him

[ocallen]

what about spax sports kit or eibach springs + bilsteins.

[TW166Y]

look at my sig pic below matey, thats a spax spring and shock matched kit 60mm drop all around, in my opinion this setup is sweeeet and dont cost as much as the h&r cup kit or bilstein setup, even still if you are prepared to go all out and pay good money i would go for the cupkit if i was you, however im having no problems with my spax kit what so ever, there is plenty of choices out there but what ever you do, donnot buy shit stuff because you really can tell the difference dude,

[ocallen]

is it a different fitting with a touring rather than a saloon.

[TW166Y]

i know mate just trying to give you an idea thats all

[slideordie]

Your car looks like it sits sweet TW166Y, how much did the Spax kit cost you? Do you have any problems with scrubbing?

just a very light scrubbing sound at first, i got out the grinder and took abouut 5mm off each arch and that cured it , its been on my car for around a month now and its dropped a little lower and really does look the bollox mate cost me Ԛ£230 off a fellow zoner mate

[TW166Y]

[slideordie]

Do you find that the front still sits a bit higher than the back?

[hoshy]

spax do 60/60, 60/40, and the 40/40 which I'm thinking of. Though I would like a quote for the h&r kit please m5pilot

[Dan318-is]

iv heard horrendous things about spax mate

H n R seem to be teh top choice followed by Bilstein

Koni are also fantastic

If you got thousands, there soem awesome makes out there too way better than teh baove that will need a mortgage

[TW166Y]

H&R cup kit, Ԛ£500+ i got quoted, when someone offers you a full spax setup with springs included for Ԛ£230 BRAND NEW, do you turn it down??? i dont think so mate, that kit retails for Ԛ£400 so i bit his fooking hand off, mate dont know whos being telling you porkies about spax, a lot of people on the zone have spax and they are happy just as i am, trust me dude its a good kit, i tell you who are wank though mate APEX, i installed that setup before the spax every bump i hit the car was bottoming out, and that kit was matched too, i dont rally think ive made a bad choice at Ԛ£230 thow geez

[TW166Y]

oh yeah and koni is near enuff the same kit a the spax one!!
