How much do they cost anyway (for E30 6 pot)? Are they coil overs?My Bilstein Blacks or ok fur now but I find them kinda....SOFT!....wuz wondering if the Titans can be a cost effective next upgrade....especially if they are ride height adjustable

yeah mate....suprisingly...Im not hardcore track type but I am finding even the Bilstein (black)+eiback prokit setup not up to my expectations ....cud be a bit firmer *sigh* ...But dont get me wrong, they were a definite improvement from the BOGEs so on that score I am ok with it

I don't know.. but there's nothing like inverted monotubes. Of course, price, they're not that cheap but then again, if you don't like the ride, one way or another the guys at titan will play with the damping and produce the ride feel you desire.. which is never ever possilble on the German suspension.i can't think of much to say now, need to go do my stuff.but all i gotta say is try it out.too bad i think my Eibach proi kit springs are kinda soft.. if they were harder.. it'll be better...
okay, fitted.
i love their quality
don;t you?
yes, the front struts have to be cut.rears are manufactured.aritcle here:http://www.zerotohundred.com/forums/index....opic=16947&st=0

for Tom, he didn't go the coilover route... only changed the shockers... his front wheels won't clear the springs on the coilovers.... I might consider changing the shockers to TiTAN as well...

Quote from: KiNaKa Tom, would like to ask u about the Titan suspenion... how much do u bought it ??they come with the wheel knuckle ???i wonder how to remove the wheel knuckle from front absorber.... thankss
well basically, 1- They had to remove the front strut assembly and(prepare for this) CUT the knuckles and spring hats off the struts...2- Get their own shafts to be welded on3- their inverted monotubes would be incorprated inbasically, it means welding their shocks onto the existing E30 knuckles and spring hats. which equates to a shock/strut assemblyi brought my own used struts for that anyway.here's the pic
hope this clears the air

Have a questions for all those BMW owners running with Titan shocks... do you experience the following...Everytime when I am about to come to a stop, just at the point of stopping, the car does a very slight yo-yoing effect. Note that this happens whether I press the brakes hard or soft. The yo-yoing effect is more pronounced when I press the brakes harder.However, the car handles ok while on the move...Anyway to eliminate the effect?
