OK one last update here, it looks like I was fretting over nothing!
If you head over here. You will see that the OEM arch gap is 17.5cm for a SE touring. My arch gap currently is 12cm, presumably all SE's left the factory with 17's. Looking at full picture a 30mm drop is expected, I got 55mm so I guess I should be happy. My part numbers are: Springs: Front - 11-20-013-02-VA Rear - 11-20-013-01HA Dampers: Front - 35-120407 Rear - 24-120425 The ride has definitely not settled any lower now. So a quick review: The Bilstein B8's are quite sharp. I suspect like many others have said, will soften up over time. British roads are quite harsh and when driving at night you will see your own headlights bouncing up and down every time you hit a pothole no matter the size. I notice it because I drive the car ALOT. Passengers don't tend to notice it though, even after I pointed it out. I guess coming from M Sport suspension you wouldn't notice too much difference, maybe even used too the stiffer ride. The springs are fantastic. Virtually no body roll and stick to the road like glue! However - If your looking for an aggressive stance, I'd recommend you check out coil overs, or if you don't mind lower back pain, H&R's! Coil overs weren't an option to me as I know how tricky they are to set up and get right. Everyone's different, and the guy setting them up for you might have a different idea to the perfect ride than you do! Overall: they where a welcome disappointment. Great ride, but sit slightly higher than I expected them to. Have some more pictures on me Last edited by daz215; 11-20-2015 at 01:01 PM.. |

Here are a couple of pics of my car with the B12 Suspension. One is winter and the other is summer. My drop is exactly what I wanted. Something is not right with your height.

I am running the Pro Kit with the linear springs. The Sportline setup would have dropped the car too low for my liking.
