I am seriously considering a set of Bilstein B14. At £500 less than the B16 with adjustable damping they are a fair bit cheaper. I am just concerned that they will be too hard. The advantage with the B16 being that if they are to hard they can be soften up by adjusting them. Chances are though, if I go for B16 they will get set once and only once.
I am considering them because:
- I would like to improve the handling of the car
- I already have H&R ARBs which are great but now the car corners flatter I think this accentuates the bouncy behaviour of the from end of the car and I would like this addressed
- I would prefer to try an asymmetric drop (maybe 10mm more at the front)
- I only want a small drop, say 10mm - 20mm
- I will not be going on the track with my car but may well change the wheels to 19s in the summer so may wish to adjust the drop
- I do not mind if the ride is a bit harder and am looking for less rebound, but it still needs to be a good everyday car and must handle well on bumpy roads still
- They must be fitted by someone local (and reputable!)
Any comments/suggestions would be appreciated, especially from those of you who already have a similar set up. Even better, if someone in my area (M3 J4) would like to take me for a spin in a similar set up that would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Cheese
