Give me some suspension ideas

Anything good out there that rides stiffer (full coilover set) for under 700?

Front seat bar? Or do you mean front strut bar? If thats what you mean i found a carbon fiber one for 100$. Guy had a huge over stock of e92 parts.

No I meant sway bar not strut bar. From what I heard the strut bars are really for show and don't add much unless you track the car which I don't do. Thanks.

Do you want some kits of unknown quality that is gonna rust and start to leak just after one year? Get some reputable brands like Koni or Blisten. Cheap suspension parts are not worth the hassle to install them.

There is much more engineering involved in a quality shock than cast rotors. Your point is not valid.

If you can't even comprehend that... There isn't much we can do to help.

a nice improvement for the e92 for close to 700 + installation would be a set of Bilstein HD stuts/shocks or Koni yellows.

You can probably get a used set of ST coilovers. OR Koni yellows. both are good entry level set ups.
