the tires are completely worn also and i have already bought new ones...just waiting for the suspension to go put them on...they were totally bald on the inside all way round...i didn't realize the suspension was jacked until i saw the inside of my tires thread.

I would get Koni Yellows with Eibach springs instead of the Bilstein/H&R setup.

Also, get Lemforder tie rod assemblies. It's $120 or so for both sides, but they will last much longer and won't break like the Karlyn ones. I've seen someone completely destroy his race car because a Karlyn tie rod broke at 120mph.

what stiffness should i get for the eibach?

[Roland H]

get the pro-kit.

FWIW -- After hearing about dubious reliability of the Koni's from two friends, I settled on Bilstein Sports for my M3/4. Also, I decided to keep normal clearance for the sake of daily driving. Have been very happy with the outcome for both street & autocross.

[kidfaky]

are konis warranteed for life?

[BadGTho]

i have koni yellows and dinan (made by eibach) springs.

excellent combo.

i ended up getting this kit from turner with sway bars, high performance aluminum rsm, new control arms and bushings, strut mounts, i also got xbrace, strut stabilizers front and rear from bimmerworld. so...hopefully the car will run a little better. thanks a lot for all of your suggestions...i'm really glad that i didn't buy the original kit i looked at (see above). plus these are backed by lifetime warranty. hopefully i wont need that though. peace! chris
