They are of fantastic quality. Fully assembled made for easy install. Ride quality improved on and offroad.
I have 318is with eibach pro kit 1 inch lower and bilstein b8 (basically original) and it drives like a dream. I personally dont like lowered or slam cars especially as its classic and i want to enjoy the deive not be bothered with potholes. If tou really want to lower it make sure the springs and shocks are good quality. Previous suspension was TA tehnica and the entire chassis was moving on potholes. My previous e30 (316i) had the same stupid TA tehnica and I swapped the suspension from a e30 wagon that had the same ground clearance as you and it perfect for the city
I got h and r lowering springs and bilstein B8 shocks and struts. They work really well. And i can go over speed bumps and handle rough roads.
Note 5100s are stiff... Not a soak up the bumps kind of shock FYI
I like mine, just didn't know beforehand so I was a little surprised it felt stiffer than OEM. Also more composed on hard hits, washboard, etc. And notably less body roll, good for on road handling in that sense...
2008 LC Prado - 185k mileage. Regular PMS only. front lower arms, and tire rods were change for the first time last year since it was new, rides like brand new again. Shocks were already replaced with OME.
Massive increase in ride quality and drivability after putting some Bilsteins on.
My runner is a 22 but still loving my Bilsteins and setup!
They are pretty close to the stock shocks, just like 10/15% stiffer.. I honestly ride speed bumps much faster in the 8 (regular 18" on non XL Michelin PS4) than with a 2024 Yaris with 16" lol.
My 325 ix was lowered by the previous owner on Bilstein and h and r sport, but it is a harsh ride.
5100’s ride is horrible, you’ll regret not spending a couple extra bucks!!
