    H&R cup kit Or Bilstien Sport shocks and H&R Sport Springs?

    Ok Some Im in need of new suspention. I am looking for a good solution. Im a daily spirted driver so i am looking for performance. Any suggestions would be best. Negatives and positives on each set would be nice as well. The cup kit is $650 and the other one is 600. So the price diff is not large. Also If I get the cup kit would I have to get an ajustable camber kit as well? of would my stock shock mounts work fine?

    if you want performance, stay away from the cup kit.

      What is a good set that is about $600 or less? It would be awsome if they were in the Southern part of orange county, CA as well

              Cup kit would be a good kit if you have great roads to drive on, but those areas it seems are few and far between so Id advise against it. I had the cup kit on my 318is, and while I admit it looked damn good, it just wasnt a great suspension. Any moderate imperfection in the road would have me hitting the bumpstops. I even busted my oil pan. For those two reasons alone I would go with the H&R sports, especially since your car sees daily action.
