Can anyone explain in Caveman terms the difference between normal suspension and motorsport - need a source for as near as, if not, oem parts.

Bouncy and slightly uncontrolled as compared to less bouncy and more controlled handling.

September/October sheep been munching again? :D

Prolly better going for Eibach -30mm springs and B4 Billies - cheaper than oem sport and a better solution. Of course arbs need looking at as well

BMW M-tec springs sit the car about 15mm lower than stock,and are a little stiffer.
