Wow, 49k is pretty low miles for a '97 318ti. Were the shocks and springs replaced with OEM at one point? Being that you're 18, I'm guessing that you're not the original owner.

Awesome Joe, sounds like you really lucked out when you picked up your ti. I wish mine only had 33k miles when I got it. Anyway, this is a nice upgrade for someone with a base model or perhaps someone trying to refresh their OEM sport suspension on a budget. GLWS

yeah, great deal!

I'm very happy with the looks of my Bilstein sports/H&R sport combo but I can't really tell a difference in performance from my OEM Sport set up.

I would be so happy to have that.. Mine's stock.. I've been wanting to upgrade to sport suspension. Is it lower than stock though? Cuz i have 16s and i do not enjoy the space left between tire and fender in front... I just wish i had the money ;[

It's closer to a full inch lower then stock. I'll try and find my pictures of mine with the stock sport stuff next to my buddy's car with stock active stuff.

I'd guess about 1 - 1.5 inches lower then the stock active.

I now have H&R sports and had very little drop from the stock sport springs.
