koni or anyother struts & H&R springs FO SHO

<shakes head>

Save your money! Unless of course you just want to be like everyone else and say that you've spent alot of money. You really won't notice the difference between Konis and a set of Monroes from Autozone. The difference is in the springs. Unless your tracking your car, adjustable dampening is uneccesary. I'm running a set of H&R Race Rprings from a Z3 roadster 4cyl on my 97 318ti Sport. They are even more aggressive than the H&R Race Springs for the 318ti! I bought a set here on Bf.c for $80 and they fit perfect. The H&R's for the 318ti only lower the rear about 1.5" while the H&R's for the Z3 lower it about 2". Front is about the same at 2.5". I was going to fork out the cash for a set of Bilstein Sports or Tokicos but I'm thinking of buying a set of Sachs or Monroes or Gabriels for a Z3 because I think the spring perches are about an inch lower which would slam my Ti. Not to mention that they cost about half as much as Bilsteins, Konis or Tokicos. I checked realoem.com and they seem to be compatable since the kingpins(mounting brackets) are the same part#. BTW I'm running stock shocks & struts with no problems whatsoever. I'm not replacing them until I have to. It just doesn't make sense to throw away a perfectly good set of shocks away and before you say it, who would buy a used set of oem shocks and struts? They'll be replaced if and when they blow.
