Hi there

I have a 1990 320ise touring which has suspension which is best described as utterly shagged.

I am looking at buying H&R 30mm lowering springs and some bilstein b4 dampers - do standard b4 dampers work with the lowering springs or do I need a shorter damper? If so, do bilstein do a shorter version of the B4? If so, I've been unable to find any online

Thanks for any advice

B4s will be fine with -30mm springs. Note that they come without the dust cover and the essential load spreading washer at the top of the mount. The washer is built into the dust covers of OE dampers, and the whole assembly will swap over to the B4s.
