I'm currently running a Sachs suspension kit on my E36 Coupe (50 front, 30 rear) and it needs replacing (worn strut). I'd like to raise the front a little to avoid grounding on speedbumps etc, and also so that I can fit a crossbrace.
The current handling is terrific, and I want to keep it that way, but maybe a bit softer on the back for ride comfort.
I'm slowly working through all the suspension packages, and the choice has narrowed to H + R springs (40/40) and B8 Bilsteins, or a Koni suspension kit which includes Koni springs (also 40/40, and with adjustable front rebound on the dampers).
I'm looking at Bilstein B8s because of the lower springs - they have a shorter shaft. Are there problems with B6s with this setup? (B8s not in stock in NZ at the moment!)
The prices are about the same - with the Koni kit sourced from the UK a little cheaper......(and that includes horrendous shipping)
Use is road and occasional track days.
Any experience with either setup (or better?) out there?
Cheers
Jo
