Bmw e90 Bilstein B12 Pro kit

Hello,

Hope you guys can advice me! I have an e90 with non Sport shocks i would guess, it have stock shock absorbers with H&R Sport Springs (they were already installed on the car when i bought it, so not 100%) and 18" wheels. anyway, i now spotted that the car is lower on the back right. The mechanic sayd it could be a spring that its not doing its job anymore.

I want to improve on car confort and handling, are the B12 Pro kit a good choice? I can get the kit for 650€ Inc vat. What you guys think?Will the car get a bit higher?i think its too low right now for my taste.
The car have 125k on the clock.


Thanks

b12 is a really nice kit, handling is a lot better and so is the comfort, handles potholes better than stock sport suspension, there's plenty of threads on it here just do a quick search

You've gotta give it 2-4,000 miles for them to totally settle.

Oh no... I'm schedule for an alignment tomorrow. Would it be too early @300 miles, two weeks after suspension install?

No. Get the alignment.

Just re-torque the bolts in two weeks.

The suspension settling won't effect the alignment
