E-39 Absorber

[bimmer73]

Bro if you are going for bilstein I suggest Bilstein B12 suspension kits. I come with B8 monotube+H&R springs = Bilstein B12. the ride is really awesome. I got rid of the original M sport suspension on my E39 and switch to B12. No regrets. Superb Handling you can check with Bailly and Red Baron. He took my car for a test drive and loved it. But If you still want the original Msport settings I have the part no. My ride is the E39 Msport UK spec. Msport setting is very costly. B12 cost RM3500

I also have tried the B8 with the Msport springs. The front clearence of the wheel arch will be higher than original Msport setting it will no longer give you the 2 fingers clearence. It is caused by the High gas pressure of the B8. There is 2 types of B8 montube and Twin tube. The twin tube is old technology and the Monotube is the current tech. The difference is the twin tube comes with a internal valve that measures your driving style and will adjust the stiffness acordingly and the stiffness is really really stiff whereas the monotube does not have this feature and is better.

Sach performance sports is very costly and the price is now in the RM5K range. and you cannot buy just the struts unless you are buying the touring absorber. Sach Performance sports will only be available after july 08 as i was told by ZF trading Malaysia.

Bilstein B12 is developed by road testing with different types of springs. H&R only manufactures these springs for bilstein specificly for the B12.

The ride smooth. the road holding at 200kmh lekat like elephant glue when corner baring. hehe

in short the B12 is awesome awesome and very awesome. hehehe

In that case higher clearance is better as I always bang my front lower if I cross hump slightly faster. Damn shit.

Latest issue of AUTOCAR asean, page 50(new GALLARDO LP560-4) has advertisement of Bilstein, stated all new Bilstein with Inverted & monotube technology. I already emailed the local dealer Autofuture Design in Damansara Utama & Jazzauto in Jalan Kepong Industrial Area, got a quote of RM2900 for B8 with installation. Not sure with spring pad and mountings or not but I doubt.

I see this E39 absorber story cannot finish leh......Always got cerita.
I think Affan has found what he's been looking for.That's good.

At the moment, you have no choice except boge super touring or bilstein B6/B8 in the market for sports absorbers. Sachs Performance kit according to ZF, they will not bring in ex-stock anymore. If u order 1, then they'll send in 1 set. So ....go go go Bilstein for now eh?

Michael already tell everyone very syoik one B8 and B12 kit.:top:

 

[davidtch]

4 ppl who die die 1 2 get Sachs Performance Kit, u could drive south to Singapore.

Sachs Performance.

There is 4 authorised dealers. I m not sure about the price.

 

[affan66]

never ending story la this thing...
We need to do some benchmarking exercise to test out... I am on Sachs Advantage/M-Sport. Can test with others on different combo....

 

[wc9922]

Not to say Sach Performance is better or worse, it's ZF Sales & Services Malaysia's reluctance to market the aftermarket stuff here. They make more money selling other stuff and servicing auto transmissions for lorries and buses, then care about passanger car products. I think Affan and some of the rest can attest to their lackadistical culture.

ZF has a lot of good products but they are not willing to invest in marketing it here.

 

[affan66]

i wrote an email to ZF Singapore and cc'ed ZF Germany about ZF Malaysia. They are looking into it. Malaysia Boleh.
