Bilstein BTS Suspension Kit
 
I'm almost to the due date for the suspension upgrade, and have been shopping around for a bit.

I think i've decided to go with the BTS kit (i can get it for about 690$ shipped)

What i know about it is: a friend of mine has a bilstein (not bts) kit on his car and he straight whips that thing. I also heard that this kit was discontinued by Bilstein.

Does anybody have this kit installed and can verify that this kit will give the suspension I'm after? (or know further information)

I want a smooth ride (very smooth)
I want to be able to cut 90'gree turns
I want no more than 1.4" F 1.0" R drop.


thankyou!

yeah I'm interested also. It's either this or the BavAuto Coilover kit. I hear their springs are good but I have not heard of anyone getting the shocks and struts. Anyone have those either?

The BTS kit should give you exactly what you are looking for, and for a bargain price as well. Ive heard nothing but good news from people who run the BTS setup.

i just put the bavauto coilover kit in and its def a good idea, thing handels real nice and for the money you cant beat it

Jeff, be sure to pay attention for when the ride starts to feel weird, as the BavAuto/Bekkers coilovers are known to have the shocks blow after a year or less.

Does anyone know what brand springs come with the BTS kit? I'm swaying away from this VMaxx coilover kit and looking more at the BTS.
