    KW (60/40) & IE3+billies diff's & minor bushing ques.

    "tunershop, kw60/40" or IE stage 3 +bilstein sports, which suspension would be better balanced, last longer (ie quality?), difference in height. I don't track or auto-x, just some spirited driving sometimes, the roads aren't the best but arite, don't want to bottom out! stiff is good.. i'm not a wuss ;) anybody got pics of cars w/ these set-ups? i know egk2 has kw right? i'm running on 14" 195 tyres.

    some other questions are about bushings, rear to be exact. what is the best rear shock mount for my application? e46, stock meyle new design, GC? all urithane or stock is fine, again, i'm not planning to track my car, but i want it to drive nicely!

    P.S. no koni's, as i don't want to deal w/ adj. and $$. Spring rates on KW and IE3 would be nice!

    Thank you for your help r3vers! :p

    Both springs are good quality and ride quality is about the same imo, the difference in stance is noticeable though:

    KW 60/40 = raked stance


    IE stage 3's = reverse raked stance( rear lower than front)


    Here's another comparison in ride height: IE's on red 325is in front, KW's on red 325i rear
    btw I also run drop hats in the front to get it down another 10mm. I don't recommend them for a daily driver, my front end is wayy too low.
