ive been needing to change my shocks etc, and wanted to find out what would options i have or is recommended...
ive got a 325 sport, and i would pretty much like the standard sport look, maybe a touch lower at the front & little at the back but not too much, would like a smooth ride not one that i can feel every bump, and end up scuffing the front valance over every speed hump...
what makes, prices, etc do you guys reccomend
what is the most appropriate suspension....

Eibach springs and Bilstien B8 shocks are the best combo, quite a few run that set up.
You could also look into a KW kit too.

do you know what drop springs to get to to get the sport ride height...and what would be the cost of the bilstein and eibach set up
looked into kw, they come up around 420ish, but the suspension kit will lower 60mm on the front, and 30mm/40mm/60mm on the rear...

It's normally a complete set up, called the B12 kit.

30mm drop is fine on your car.

I'm sure the B6's are a shorter damper than the B8.
Well worth the money from what i've read on here, I'm going KW set up, but only because I pain peanuts for the full suspension.

what im trying to gauge, my b6s are ok, had no issues at all, just the lowering springs were turkey
but would i notice much/moneys worth,if i went to b8s from fine b6s, as opposed to b8s from a knackered set up or no bilstein ?

Why change the B6's then??? If they're ok ???
Just buy a set of Eibach springs and all is good.

I'm sure you'd notice it in ride height, but other than that I don't think there is any difference in the shock itself apart from a height variant.
