Bennyboy 199 Report post Posted August 5, 2016 Big brake upgrade completed! e34 540i upgrade on all four corners, all much bigger diameter, and vented. Full flush and new fluid. Significant improvement in the braking dept. Haven't given them a full test as yet, will give the new pads an opportunity to bed in first. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Contrails 317 Report post Posted August 9, 2016 I went with Bilstein sports all around with Apex springs. Sits nice and rides beautifully. Very sports feel, not too harsh. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bennyboy 199 Report post Posted August 9, 2016 What was the rough cost, Rohan? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Contrails 317 Report post Posted August 11, 2016 Hey Ben, Bilstein sports cost me almost $1300 with shipping and customs from turner motorsport. Apex springs were around the $250 mark. I also ordered new shock mounts and bump stops for $100. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bennyboy 199 Report post Posted August 11, 2016 Nice. How is the look/ride? Pics? Did you go about fitting the upgrades yourself? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Contrails 317 Report post Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) I should take some pics, sorry being a bit busy with work. Ride height is almost the same as with stock shocks and AP springs. The front sits a little lower and that's cos of the springs being lower in the front. But it suits the E28 as the front fender gap is a lot larger than the rear. I also installed new bump stops in the rear. The rears are adjustable height wise. Will definitely take lots of pics this weekend. The ride is actually better than stock shocks and lowering springs. It was too harsh before, now is more sports comfort. I had the ABS light come ON when I first just the springs installed, but after the shocks got upgraded the light went back OFF. I got the shocks installed by shockshop. They did it for $200. My no is 0211804565, I can watsapp/viber you some pics if you like (of the car).
