Hi

Can anyone recommend a good lowering kit for my e30 325i cab 1991.

Is it best to just get the lowering springs or the whole kit?

Also, anyone recommend silicone hoses or stick to original? If silicone who sales?

Cheers

Eibach springs and Bilstein B4 shocks are the tried and tested way to go.

So eibach springs and bilstein shocks.

Would it be best to get coilovers?

Depends what you want from the kit and your budget really! As Mr Cloggy Saint says, the Eibach/Billy combo is a winner. I supply and fit a lot of these. Give a good ride height and great quality performance. If you want to be able to tweek the ride height to a specific height then coilovers would be a good option. As with all of these things, buy the best you can afford. Suspension, brakes and tyres are THE most important components on a car :D
