uprating e30 m3 suspension....

[DasChin]

anyone run the Bilstein B8 sports kit?

they look good and been offered a set to try out. currently m3 is on std shocks and lowered springs. feels a bit floaty.

thanks, DC

Im using B8 dampers with a H&R spring kit and think there great, no floaty business: quite firm but not harsh. Would be my first choice if i was in the market for a new susspension set up. See what others think and use.

the old skool thought was bilsteins and 6 cylinder -35mm H&R springs

How many miles on the dampers that are on the car now? 100,000 mile dampers don't necessarily need 'uprating' - they just need renewing.

[DasChin]

118k miles. Don't see point in renewing 25 yr old shocks. Update or just get new standard.

You can't go wrong with bilstein eibach or H&R combined in any format

It's an upgrade / modification that's good for any e30

[billgatese30]

I think that is what Brian meant, Das. I.e. replace like for like with new OE dampers, rather than 'upgrade' to aftermarket spec/manufacturer, rather than some kind of refurbishment.

[DasChin]

Ah ok. Replace the current with OEM.

I used B6s and eibach springs and ARBs on mine and loved that combination. I've no experience of H&R stuff but I'm sure it's equally as good. Why not try new OEM stuff?

[DasChin]

I will look into it. been offered the b8 set up with KW springs for good money so worth a punt.
