    Feeler.... used TMS JS shocks/ springs

    I may be switching things up and am thinking of selling these.

    I bought them used like 5 mos ago and never used them.
    Have @ 12 events on them........they last a long time and are very robust.

    Shocks and springs only/////// non inverted rear style.


    Would be asking 565.00 .....to ship is extra,.......Im in NY. Any interest?.....
    I love sitting down and just driving!

          The drop on these springs are very close to H&R Race or even IE Stage 3s and will give a more level stance than a raked one like with H&R Sport springs. As for rates of the TMS J-Stock springs, front = 680 while rear = 1026. A stiff spring for sure but remember its a progressive coil so there will be a little compliant 'give' under light load but then everything gets stiff once you start pushing it in the bends.

                They should - with exception to the '84 and '85 models (318i only I think), the strut housing was the same on all non-M E30s - coupes, sedans, and 'verts.

                      These springs are VERY streetable since they are progressive. The shocks cost about $300 + your shipping to Bilstein to be rebuilt. They are rebuilt in southern california at Bilstein. Turner wont rebuild them.

                        Turner does not do rebuilds. Bilstein will revalve to and spec you would like for 68 each.

                            Since they're already a matched pair of shocks and springs, you won't have to revalve the shocks, just rebuilt. However, you CAN get any pair of Bilsteins revalved when you send them back to get rebuilt.

                              hey all...holidays have kept me busy!

                              most of the answers here are correct. They are very stiff( the numbers posted are pretty close to what I know) and are streetable..... but that is subjective of course. I would street them driving to the track. I bought them used in good faith and belief they are very good w/ no need to re build, from a reputable shop. They have @ 12 DE's on them. No need to revalve as they are specilly valved by billie for TMS JS. They have similiar heights as HR race /IE..as stated.

                              These kits are VERY robust and last a long time...,many JS racers use them for yrs. Feel free to pm any ?...........I cant sell them as of yet, thats why its a feeler.....its for those that can wait a few weeks to a month or so. They are hard to find and at a good price..........tia!
