If you read the first or second sentence in the description, apparently the 318ti is a civic???  Doesnt look to bad though, if you need to replace that worn out suspension in your Civic. HAHA! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-E...84872633QQrdZ1 |  |  | | 03-02-2007, 09:57 PM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Lincoln Park Capitol Hill, Washington DC Posts: 741 |
He probably forgot to edit his generic description for all the BTS system. That is actually a very good system and has been discontinued by Bilstein. The springs are actually made by Bilstein, but unfortunately the front struts are inserts. So, for those of you with stock suspension and wanted to upgrade, this system is a great bargain and a rarity. It only lowers the car 1' front and 1.2' rear. Improved handling without sacrificing ride quality. __________________

When you put these on it only lowers the car mildly, 1' front and 1.2' rear, similar to the M-tech suspension, but far more superior. Lifetime warranty from Bilsteins __________________

Might wanna try that, or at least going to an M coupe rear sway. | | | | | 03-23-2007, 05:18 PM | #11 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Lincoln Park Capitol Hill, Washington DC Posts: 741 |

I know it will fit the Ti, correct? I think they are 20mm stock vs 16mm stock Ti. Do you have it? How much? I searched in your Ebay Store and did not see one. Thanks, Ed __________________

Thanks, Ed | I have one here... I actually intended to use it on my Coupe (and later selling them) but ended up going with a 22mm rear sway. The M Coupe rear sway is 19mm. It is brand new and comes with new bushings and links. $120 | | | | | 03-23-2007, 06:20 PM | #13 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2004 Location: Port St. Johns, Florida Posts: 2,242 |
Ed, can you get urethane sway bushings? | | | | | 03-23-2007, 07:22 PM | #14 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Saint Paul, MN Posts: 3,244 |

Ed- how would the BTS package compare to my stock mtech springs + Konis? I'm presently at 98k miles on the complete stock suspension and theres a bit more roll than I like but going over big bumps is about as jolting as I would like. __________________
