Cheers I'm glad someone saw them before being taken down.

Well ... this is more of a heightened E36 Still lower than stock and slightly lower than the M-Tech that comes standard with the IS BMW's I don't race or track the car and the old suspensions were just too low for daily driving. Before - unknown shocks and springs - not very good setup, uncomfortably low, kept scraping over speed bumps and parking entrances = AVERAGE Now - H&R touring cup setup from Keith - great ride, height comfort and feeling very planted and secure in the curves = AWESOME BTW - if you are looking for a proper suspension talk to Keith at Suspension Progress (forum sponsor). He knows what he's doing. I can testify P.S. If you are interested in the old springs I'm looking to part with them and willing to do it cheaply. They still have life in them. No shocks dough - they were not well paired with the springs and are scrap. Probably better if you are in Wellie or close enough to avoid shipping $$. I can provide pics on Monday as they are at the garage. PM me and we can arrange something. If no one is interested I'll put them on TradeMe. Cheers. R there you go Glenn Since I had photoshop open I shrank and posted a few more

Thank you Keith, Great setup at a great price. Also, great to deal with someone who knows what they are doing. BTW - You were right, it does feel like a new car, love it Cheers Raz

sweet as bro I bet it has that new suspension smell

Sweet... That's all I needed to know. Thanks mate R

***Off topic*** Just a side note for the forum admin. I'm unable to upload pics Keep getting following error: "Error Upload failed. Please ask the administrator to ensure the uploads directory is available" I'm getting this at work and at home, on different browsers and operating systems. Anything I'm doing wrong ?? Any ideas?

Not sure that will solve much since the shocks are battered to hell. They are Bilstein (F) and Boge ( so they might be rebuildable but I have no idea where I could go for something like that or if it's cheaper than getting new ones. I will be getting springs also but not sure from where since I don't want to pay dealer/store prices. Any good places you might know in Wellington ?? Cheers R

Hi Glenn ... I was actually hoping for something a bit higher than that. The car is too low now and I keep bottoming out on speed bumps, parking entrances and the like ... very annoying. The underside of the front bumper is a mess and the muffler shield is looking less than great Since I don't really plan to track/race the car a touring setting, I believe, might be closer to what I'm looking for. Originally, the car had M sport suspension which is low enough for my needs and driving style. What would you recommend that is close to that? I'm willing to loose 10-15 mm past that but not more otherwise I'll be back to what I have now Thanks for any suggestions R

Hi guys, I was hoping for a little more input on this. I have done some research and decided that a full suspension kit will be the best choice for simplicity and price. Would you agree with that? Can I come out cheaper if I get the individual parts (shocks, springs)?? I'm looking at a H&R or Bilstein with the touring setup as I don't want my car that low. Has anyone used either of them, what can you tell me? Where did you find them, how much?? Are there any other brands or setups you would recommend?? Thanks R

Thanks Glenn, I thought about that but I'll need more info on this. In my mind I was either getting a very good set of shocks second hand or a good one new. Never thought about the springs. Not sure if the shocks are still in good enough shape to be worth keeping. I'm willing to pay a bit to get something decent. It's been expensive changing all of the bushes and ball joints so I'm keen to get it done well from the start to avoid this kind of expenses in the future I'm in Wellie so if you or Keith can recommend someone to see it would be good. I have a good mechanic so I'm more interested in getting the right parts. Thanks for the input Glenn. Keep'em coming guys. Cheers R

Hello folks, I'm in a position where i need to change my shocks a bit before their time. They are too long for the springs currently on the car (don't ask, not my doing) so ... in bad shape and so were all the bushes and ball joints. Those are changed now so it's time for the shocks. Believe the springs will have to stay so now I wonder what should I get as far as shocks? I'd like to go with the stock Bilsteins, but I'm not sure I can find shorter ones to fit the springs I was told that the Boge ones are good but again not sure on size. I could add some spacers with the current springs and use stock M ones or any of the ones above At this point having more comfort looks more and more interesting. I'm willing to raise it a bit... having looked under and seen the damage done to the underside. I always believed that it was the stock M Technics suspension but I have my doubts now Car - 328is E36 1995, M suspension with 17' with 235/40ZR17 Anything else you need to know please ask. Cheers R

Hello I'm after a LAMP LENS LEFT BOSCH 63128363077 for a E36 328is 1995 It's for the passenger's side. I've attached a few pics for clarification. RealOEM code - LAMP LENS LEFT BOSCH 63128363077 Cheers R

4 and 11 are good. I guess they are all sweet... I guess it helps having a good model Congrats on the purchase... nice one ... I might consider an E30 if I could find one that good.
