feeler: E36 M3 Bilstein sports & H&R sports!

thedood · Wed, Sep-05-2007, 08:19:06 PM

Hey guys, PICTURES ADDED!!!!

I've got some lightly used suspension goodies with approximately 11 months/8k miles on the bilsteins, most of which have been highway miles. I recently installed coilovers in preparation for decent track time.

Asking $450 for the Bilsteins. RSMs, Strut hats/mounts & reinforcement plates can be added on for $75 more.

hmm I may be interested... where are you located?

Atlanta, currently... at Georgia Tech.

shipping might be pricey... do you have a pic with them installed on your car? How is the ride quality with that set up? Did you need camber plates or anything additional to run this set up? Thanks!

thedood · Thu, Sep-06-2007, 03:37:03 AM

nothing additional to run the setup, although clearance is tight with these. i've rubbed once when i had some serious lateral forces & the tires were a little under-inflated, so the tire shifted more than it should have. i'm running stock sizes on staggered contours, if that helps, & the kumho ecsta MXs i'm running do seem a bit wider than the average.

the ride is rather firm, but i really like it. its a sports car & should be set up like this or close to it.

i don't have a camera at the moment, but i'm gonna try to borrow one from a roommate tomorrow AM.

Get some pics up.
What is the drop on the H&R springs?

Bump for a decent price. I'm running the same setup, see my sig pic for the drop.

I'm happy overall but I think the rear is dropped a bit too much, tucking a bit of the rear tire. Bimmerworld sells 15mm spring pads that made the rear almost perfect. Other than that, the ride quality is perfect and the performance is awesome.

Are you still looking to sell the H&R 's ?

tuyen · Sat, Nov-10-2007, 06:05:57 AM

id be interested in the bilsteins if they fit the 1994 e36 euro m3 and if you are willing to ship to australia (id be willing to pay shipping)

thedood · Wed, Nov-14-2007, 12:29:51 AM

the H&Rs are sold...

tuyen, as for the bilsteins, here's the deal:
they are currently spoken for, but if the current deal falls through, i'll let you know. i'd rather not ship to Australia, but if you really don't mind paying for shipping... why not?
