Bilstein Sports not HD

tlrid3r · 10-04-2010, 05:08 PM

I have done a search with little success to find how I can order or find someone that can get a hold of a set of Bilstein sports for my e92 335i.

I want to find the sports because I think it will give a better ride than the HD due to its lower shaft height.

If anyone has any useful info please let me know.

Supreme Power lists the rears only.

If you have the stock springs you need the HDs.

I want to use eibach pro-kit.

ive spent the last month searching and buying suspension parts, i only found a full set of bilstien sports at one place online which was supremepowerparts.com. and that was just yesterday when i bought the spring perches, their price seems fair at around $700 for all four. but i may have to agree you may want to research further i think with eibach pro's you may want to go with the hd's. from what i understand the pro kit is very similar to the oem sport suspension. i would get the discontinued bmw performance suspension kit with those springs personally.

i just double checked found all four bilstien sport shocks for the e92 335 on supreme powers website, it list the front left and right at $230 each.

hey stealyourface ive been thinking hard about getting a 3.64 diff, would you recommend it is it the best dollar for dollar upgrade? do you have any before and after numbers 1/4 mile or 0-60?

I don't drag race my car, but the difference is significant. I would do it all over again if it cost me $1000 more than it did...

If the car had a deeper 6th I would have gone for a numerically higher ratio.

thanks i was thinking that there really isnt anything else i could do to get a real improvement. where did you get yours, turner and bimmerworld are the only places i could find, turner uses diiffsonline and their prices just went up. what was gonna cost me $1600 is now around $2600 if my memory serves me.

I have always bought all my shock needs at: SHOX.com

Each time I get email quotes from different dealers... then they beat their price! I think SHOX.com is the largest Bilstein/Koni dealer in the usa. They even ship to APO's!

The Bilstein sports and HD have teh same dampning. It is only that the sports are designed to work at a lower ride height. So... sports if your lowered and HD is your not.
