I got the new suspension and alignment done this week. I installed Bilstein shocks and struts and H&R springs. I purchased them from Doug at Turner Motorsport.

The ride is harder then before, especially with 18" wheels, but here in Florida it's not uncomfortable. My 328ti with Koni's/H&R's was much harsher.

I'm real happy the way it turned out. It handles really nice (now I have the bug for sway bars). I have a good size dip at the foot of my driveway and no scrapping. :)

The only problem I had was that the rear spring perch should have come with the rear shocks and they were not in the box. Of course we discovered this with the car apart. I quite call to Doug at Turner Motorsport and he confirmed they should have been there and he promptly overnighted them to me and I had them first thing the next morning (Thanks Doug).

Here are 2 pics.
