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! __________________ now when i hit that switch, I'M BOUNCIN. | | | 05-24-2007, 06:29 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Franklin, NC Posts: 124 | 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? | | | 05-24-2007, 06:29 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: Vancouver, B.C. Canada Posts: 465 | 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. __________________ | | | 05-24-2007, 06:47 PM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: Downtown Historic Fredericksburg, VA Posts: 339 | Quote: Originally Posted by m-technik_ti The BTS kit should give you exactly what you are looking for, and for a bargain price as well.

I'm swaying away from this VMaxx coilover kit and looking more at the BTS. __________________ BMWCCA #403399 2012 Mini Cooper S Clubman, 6-Speed Loaded 2001 325xi, Winter Package, 5-Speed Traded 1998 318ti, Active, Automatic, TOTAL LOSS R.I.P. 10/20/08 Bilstein Sport Shocks/Struts .
