BlowMyWhistle 0 Report post Posted September 13, 2009 Hi Y'all, I've posted this on general discussion, without much interest. Perhaps it's ma dumb question? So here goes again, let's just accept i'm dumb aye! I've got a ebay listing for a set of bilstein struts & springs from U.S. They just say e34, I'd need heavier springs on account mine's a V8 wooden eye? I can get them delivered to my door for about $700 aussie $ Mine are like 15 years old & are soft as... They dive under braking hard & clunk from the rear. I've also experienced the shimmy at 100k, I've replaced the large control arm bushing, but the little one at the front must be trashed cos it's rattling. I've got some 18" mags from an X5, another ebay bargain. The friendly peoples I bought them from say I need to machine them for the right offset, but they are fairly deep dish, look to me like they need to go the other way & fit spacers... Anyway, som POV's on the V8/6cylinder springs thing would be appreciated, i'm keen to get them asap, but obviously being on ebay I want to get it right! Cheer. It's a '94 e34 530i 234k's on the clock. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Jamex supplier has told me the 6 springs are fine on the 8's 3. The 540i is approx 130KG heavier than a fully loaded 525i Personally, I'd go for 540/530i specific items.

BlowMyWhistle 0 Report post Posted September 19, 2009 Thanks! From my 'guy' V8's don't fit 6's & V.V I don't have a full item description, but think I'm buying just the struts, X springs. Brand new Bilsteins HD $450 U.S $130 delivery. Whats agood brand for springs, avoiding munroe, local brands etc. My daughter works for Super Cheap so I can get a 25% discount if the ebay sale falls thru! Chers I can't answer your question, but i do know the following; 1. H&R do different springs for the sixes and eights 2. The Jamex supplier has told me the 6 springs are fine on the 8's 3.
