Default Sachs Performance Suspension Kit

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with the Sachs Performance Suspension Kit, from Bavauto (part#118 139). Im looking to upgrade my stock suspension, and Im not sure if I should go with the Bilstein/bav sport springs, or this kit. Any info would be great.

Thanks

The Bilstein Shocks with Bavarian Autosport Sport Spring set up and the Sachs Suspension Kit both lower your car about 1.5". As for ride I can not tell you the difference because I don't have the Sachs set up. I was looking into both but went with the Bilstein with Bav Auto springs because it cost a little less for the same amount of lowering. I was thinking about going with the sachs just because I have a sachs clutch but money was the major factor...I wish I had more of it.

Right now Bav Auto has the Sachs kit on sale for $680, which is a little cheaper than the Bilstein w/ Bav springs, but not enough if the Bilsteins are better quality. Guess I have some research to do!!!! thaks for the info.

I never heard of this brand before untill i saw it on bavauto.com You don't find too many poor quality products from them.

There is a thread about these on bimmerforums.com. It might be in the E36 M3 forum. I believe UUC Motorwerks and Understeer.com sells the kit also (not the 318ti kit though) From what I recall, people are giving the kit great reviews.
