[makman]

Hey, ive got a 320i with a m50 in..running some apex xlow springs which dropped it about 60mm and im in need of some advice on the best shortened shockers for it. Front and rear

off the shelf, bilsteins

B8s??

[Kos]

yep

[makman]

Sweet mate thanks. How much are they for a set for the back?

[DanThe]

The B6's are the shortest, the B8's are the same length as standard dampers!

[makman]

Ohh i got told otherwise..thanks for clearing that up

[Coops90]

For the front, E30 iX shocks are shorter than all usual E30 ones, apparently they are good for excessive lowering. And further still, i've read that Audi 80 shocks are even shorter.

Webcat says otherwise

For the e30 it's also know as Sprint

I wish bilstein would sort it out.

For every other BMW the B8 is the shorter damper or is that wrong as well ?!

[makman]

Do the audi 80 ones go into the insert section of the hub too or do they need modifying?? ilm wanting some decent not a million pound jobbys
