suspension upgrade
HI guys, my oem suspension are gone, and the top mounts front and rear, i am thinking of what to do with it, i drive mostly on road and go on track may be once a year, should i stay with oem again, or go for something slightly better, any recommend?
Thanks in advance |

Ive been wondering the same.
Eibach with Koni seems popular. KW V3 or PSS9 at twice the price. I dont know if any match up with uprating arbs too?

KW V3 is a good road set-up.
Are your top mounts gone? |

I've had eibach's and KW V3 on an e36 M3. The Eibach's weren't too bad but the KW V3 were very good and made the Eibach stuff seem poor in comparison.
Personally I like the OEM suspension on the CSL. It's perfect for road and the odd trackday. How much are the OEM at the dealers? Expensive I'd imagine |

Ohlins now do a kit, a new product and can be found at Demon Tweeks for a lot less than you would expect for an Ohlins product !!

I was about to write that
 The new ohlins road and track kit is a very good solution. I will open a thread later on |

Also there is a group buy running on these on cutters at the moment.
About 2.5k iirc for e46. Im tempted by the koni. As its kind cheap option, retains almost stock ride but a bit more taught for odd trackday.
