Bilstein B8+H&R lowering springs = Bilstein B12 Tuning Kit???

[irsnudd]

Guys, is the following equation correct?Bilstein B8 + H&R springs = Bilstein B12 Tuning Kit.

 

[loafer]

In terms of lowering height yes it's the same. Handling wise not sure but it shouldn't be too far off compared to B8 + H&R.

yup, the concept is the same, but Bilstein B12 kit lowers the car more than H&R + Bilstein B8

Go with KW V2's...you won't regret it! It's the best suspensions that i've ever installed (with that type of price tag...)

it's been on my e60 for more than a year and still loving it...

The E60 body is lighter than the E39 but in time the height will drop slightly by 30mm.

The B12 comes with the B8 struts with monotube Technology and B12 is road tested & developed It is a combo of sports and comfort setting.

yup..and the shocks are inverted as well.just like subaru's sti setup..hence the superb handling.best thing is,u get handling AND comfort in one package,which is a bmw trait but with a higher degree of the two criterias.

and all this for a bargain.. no need for expensive coilovers.

They are 20" DPE Signature S10 bro. Unlike the breytons, they are strong and super lightweight, makes my car feel like on 18"s only

So the B12 comes with Bilstein Ride Control as well?

Cheers

B12 non adjustable

Try the Bilstein Ride Control. Miles of better than the KWV2 > U could adjust the rides by pressing the button in the cockpit. Sakit sekali. But worth trying. When u put soft ,it is so comfortable and u press hard it harden immediately. I Got mine in Autofuturedesign in Damansara Utama. Check it out. They are the Bilstein Distributor.

Guys, You are very Wrong. B8+ Hr = not the B12
B12 spring doesn't lowered the car as much as H& R. But very comfortable compare to H&R. I Got mine at Autofuturedesign in Damansara utama . Look for Allan coz he the person in charge ( Good Price). I like Bilstein B12 better than any combinations

I noticed you will are masquerading as an end user. You are now banned from this forum.
