Hi,
This is my first thread so go easy on me
ive had my 1999 318ti for about 4 months now and absolutely love it, when i bought it, it needed new shocks, and what time when i was replacing them i realised the car was runnin on Koni springs.
Now after driving it with the new shocks i found the ride to be a bit 'soft', if im driving the car quickly around some of the fantastic back roads round my area, it will some times bottom out over 'dramatic' dip etc. maybe this is how the car is suposed to be, i mean it does sit quite low but i was expecting the springs to be quite stiff, but i supose they could have gone soft from having to do lots of compression while the shocks were knackered!
So now i've got the money, im gonna get some new springs, looking through the threads it seems the H&R srpings are quite respected here. ive found a site that sells three seperate kits; Comfort, Sport, and 'extreme low version'.
http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pag...sub_category=1 What i want to know is what springs will be best for me, i want as good of handling i can get without going for complete shock/spring kits and coilovers etc. the car is currently sitting on 16s, but my dad said he is going to treat me to some wheels (either M3 motorsport wheels or the M3 'pettle style' wheels) either way they will be 17s.
Any advice will be hugely appriciated and if any one knows of any other sites that do a wider variety of H&R springs (im in the UK so preferabley UK sites) i will be grateful.
Cheers
John
