[lightspeed]

have install new set of bilstein b12 recently, but it seems like doesnt lower the car indeed, especially rear. driver rear still 3 fingers gap, while 4 finger gap at pasenger rear. Am running on 16" rim. want to check is it normal? pls share your experience...thanks.

Sorry bro, tumbang a bit, how about front, how many figure gap? Thx

High because of the new absorbers. Let it settle in few weeks time and it will be lower.

front looks good...around 2 finger at driver side and 2.5 finger at passenger

i really hope so, but it really looks at the high side which the b12 suppose to be....

was told by my mechanic that may be my rear trailer arms are not from original e30, may be from e28... ..however from internet reserach seems like uncommon or not possible to install e28's into e30....am not sure too

Not sure how would absorbers be responsible for the height?

Hi bro, may I know where you purchased your B12 and how much you paid for it.....
Apart from the look, how do you find the performance?

from experience, performance of B12 varies with car model. on my E46, i would say it is too hard and uncomfortable for daily use; but most assuring when charging through bends and sweepers. on my E34, they feel like marshmellows; car floats over undulations at high speeds.

if your's are like marshmellows, my H&R/B6 combo is like tofu....the soft white kind....let me know when you have decided on hawking the B8s : )

I am riding on the H&R + B8 combos...ride was a bit soft at the rear...solved them after i refreshed the semi trail arm + axle bushes

bro,pls call up auto future for the quote...
handling has improve significantly for sure, only have to compromise on the comfortability of ride. If u look for performance driving, this shall be a good option, imho.

I just called up Auto Future and they quoted me B8-RM2500 and B12-RM3500
Then I called Innerpower and they quoted B8-RM1850 but they dont have B12's

Thats a HUGE difference in price for B8's. Am wondering if its the same thing or are there different models.

B8 got 2 types, one is twin tube and another is monotube invert ...........

Twin tube is cheaper .......

But performance wise ......monotube invert win 9 street............

Any idea where to get B8's in Penang? Other than ChuSeng... and how much is it if any of you guys know about it. If can buy sendiri lagi bagus... fix ourself?
