Upgrades - United Bimmer Community

It just finished replacing all 4 brake rotors and pads, all oem parts and now I am looking at upgrading the shocks & struts. I want to keep the ride as stock as possible, any suggestions on which spring & shock set up would be best.

Do you want a drop or not

1" drop is all I want. I live in New York & the streets are the crap, I've already bent 2 rims.

Go H&R sport with Bilstein Sports or Koni Yellows. My car is my DD and I love the setup. Drop is nice looking, and the ride is stiff but not too bad

^+1 Its a nice combo from everyone I talk to.

Thanks for the suggestion, I think I will go with the H&R and Bilsteins combo but I've discovered a more pressing issue. Last night, while driving I could free the tranny shifting. I know I need to replace the mounts but what would be a good upgrade?

i second the motion for Bilstien Sports and H&R's. That is what i am running and i am very happy with them. H&R OE springs lower you car 0.5" less than H&R sport springs, if you want a more mild stance.

Bilsteins HDs and H&R OE springs if you want a quality upgrade without a major drop and a compliant ride.

Cheers,
