need different shocks

hello
i have a bilsten suspention kit on my car but the lowering on the front is way to low i was hopen that someone would know of a website where i could find a kit of stock height shocks with a stiffer ride because i live in alberta, canada and the snow here gets way deeper than the three inches the front of my car is off the ground.

so plz if any one knows of a brand that will have stock height suspention for the e36 plz let me know.

why not try replacing the springs to something more OEM'ish it would be a lot cheaper and may just be your ticket.

Depends entirely on the mods you did or were done to lower it in the first place. Get stock struts/springs on all 4 corners and put the race car toys away until you move somewhere it doesn't snow. Otherwise fit a plow to the front or just don't drive in winter.

ok. i need to know where i can get stock srings and struts i tried napa they were like we dont have those and i was like what? is there an internet site that would have them?
if i put stock springs on it would that raise the car to stock height so that i could keep my struts? i like how my car rides i just want it to be raised back up to stock height.

You could try BAVAuto.com, Azautohaus.com, Pelican. You could also try seeing if there are any local pull it yourself salvage yards around, that would be the cheapest way to get OEM by far.
