B8's H&R's etc - What are they worth?

[Ian W]

As it seems as im going to have to drop the price of my S3 to under 6k to generate some interest I thought I would stick the standard suspension back on recoup some lost cash

Anyway, what do you think this lot would be worth.

Bilstein B8's
H&R -25mm Springs
KW Adj Tie Bars
H&R 10mm / 15mm Spacers?

All fitted in May this year.

 

[scott_johnson]

A fair bit id presume!! have you still got all the original stuff to go back on it??

 

[Aky]

I'd say probably about £400 maybe more but probably would cost the same amount to get yours back to standard. Stike up a deal with someone to swap all yours back to Standard. I've just taken a deposit for my motor in its current modded state. Only got £9k for it. The lads got a bargain in my eyes and I was half tempted to keep it for that money

 

[scott_johnson]

Thats unfortunate Matt!! Why are you selling any way??? Just bought some H&R springs from dpm.... your fsd's would of been sweet with em!! we should swop em and he wont even notice lol.

 

[Ian W]

I've got all my original stuff, fitted it all myself so its only a few hours of my time and then tracking.

Well done on the sale Aky

 

[scott_johnson]

How much for the b8's Ian??? i may be interested!! how many miles they got on them??

 

[Ian W]

Couple of thousand mate.

Only fitted in May this year.

I'd rather sell the lot as a set though tbh.

You will need the tie bars anyway !

 

[scott_johnson]

Bumma, jus ordered some H&R springs from dpm. how much were you thinking for the lot??

 

[wibble111]

I may be intrested in the spacers depending how much you want for them as im off on holiday a week on sunday.

If you sell them will you include the bolts?

I'm still asking myself the question!! I've had it for 18 months and its getttng a few miles on it. I bought it with 36k and now just creeping up to 60k so I think its time for a change whilst its still under average mileage. Plus I've had payrise from work which helps to afford a newer car. I was half tempted to buy a new shape S3 until I realised they were £30k once specced up so decided to go back to the devils juice (diesel) and the only engine that would make me smile after the S3 happens to belong to BMW.

330 diesel??? would be a nice motor! get it mapped and i bet itll be just as quick

Yeah looking to get a 330CD. Looking to get it remapped as it will be pretty slow in standard form. I'm not looking for something ubber fast as I'll lose my license. Thats one reason why I'm getting rid of the Audi

 

[scott_johnson]

I bet its not as slow as you may think!! torque on them buggas are wicked!! the new 335 diesels are even better!!

super chips:

BMW 330 E46
2003 - 2005
Engine type : Turbo-Diesel
Engine size : 2993 cm3
Cylinders : 6


Original bhp : 204
Original nm : 410
BHP increase : 46
NM gain : 94
Lb/Ft gain : 69

 

[Aky]

7.2 secs 0-60 but once remaped it should be low 6's. The mid range where it all counts should be interesting!

 

[eagle_s3]

lol. AKY - I had to laugh when I read the comment about selling the audi so it won't cost you your license.

I'm selling my S3 cause it has cost me my license. Well I can't totally blame the car but it's easier.

9K is good with the current market. sadly I don't think i'll see the same figure.

Ouch - I've been stopped a few times. Gutted for you mate.

Scott the Blue Vectra collared me the other day coming down the bypass. He must have had to be doing 120+ coming into bingley as he only caught me coming off the slip road and by that time I was doing 50mph. luckily for me he didn't manage to clock me!

 

[jojo]

This could work out good for you Ian.

How much do you want for the H&R springs?

 

[scott_johnson]

eagle s3, dint you have s4 wheels on?? you fancy selling them?? lol. Gutted for ya mate!! How you manage that (obviously speeding.... gatso / laser??)

Jojo, you buy the springs, ill have the shocks its all win win!!!

 

[Ian W]

Rough prices..

Springs £100
B8's £300
Spacers £100
Adj Tie Bars £125

Im sure DPM could confirm that this was all purhcased from him between January and May this year !

Probably done about 2k - 2.5k

 

[Aky]

How much will it cost to put back to Standard Ian? I bet it would be about £500 (unless you can do it yourself) Surely you'd be better off reducing the car by say £250
