Clicky
Anyone know if these are any good? Im not expecting them to be good at all. I wouldnt be looking for suspension at all if it wasnt for a bent strut, so im not really after the best package and also dont want to spend money on the car.

I bought some tatechnix coilovers (same as hotuning) for my bm a bit ago. Think it was £130 or £150 off ebay for the full kit and i was very impressed by the comfort and that was even at very low settings. For the road i think they were fine and especially at that price. Worth a look at imo.

Those are for the 4cyl cars. Get a set for the 6cyl if you have a 328 sport.
They will be alright mate. Just don't hit any pot holes

A friend has just bought these as well for his E36 325. Well impressed for the price. Can't go wrong tbh.

Jambo. Stop telling us BMW owners to go to standard height
also the e46 m3 18" wheels would look sweet on that
