Bilstein/HR are in! Anything else?!?

[a3ternus]

So,last week,I finally got to install Bilstein Sport/HR sport in my 318i! :D
The car is nothing like the floating boat it used to be drive wise!
Anything else I need to keep my eyes on? :???:
Maybe a front engine bay bar or something?
The car has 158.000km (abt 100.000m) on it and its super
quiet on the streets,even with the new stiff suspension...

You might want to install a pair of rear shock mount reinforcement plates. These are plates that install inside the trunk, right over the rear shock mounts.

Congrats on the install. I have a 325i that has blown shocks, and the lack of damping is quite amazing--just like a floating boat.

Hooray suspension work, invest in some sway bars and proper control arm bushings and you're set.

The car was ecquiped with swaybars front and rear from the factory! ;)
What about control arm bushings? Do I really need them?

you dont need the GC CABs, those have a spherical bearing and will be pretty harsh on the street. You can either get the OE e30 M3 CABs or if you want some stiff ones get the treehouseracing ones. Its just easier not to have to press the bushing out and in.... The effect of the M3 offset CABs is to give you more positive caster for higher speed stability.

Also upgraded sways are nice. The adjustable set from Ireland is nice and you can do a little more fine tune adjustment.
