Hartge springs your opinions please

I have been offered a set of nearly new hartge springs with m sport dampers to replace my se springs and dampers. Has anybody got any experience of this set up? Also has anybody any pictures. This would all be fitted by Birds so its from a good source. Cheers

The shocks have been used for about 7000 miles and are a vast improvement over standard or M sport suspension, these have been sitting in a box for a while and I was going to fit them to my new car but at the moment have not got the time so offering these for sale

So as long as they're the right springs for your engine, they'll be great.

Yes I had them.
They are REBRANDED Eibachs, mine even had the numbers underneath.
Also had Eibach dampers and they were hard as hell, didnt like them in the end.

I matched the coils with B6s Bilstein Sports dampers. Ride was excellent then.

There is not one set of coils for all E9x - the rate varies with weight, the big six obviously heavier up front than a 120i etc.

Deals fallen through anyway.

Now thinking about getting Bilstein B12 Pro kit. Larkspeed have it for £660 posted. Can get it fitted locally for about £250
