Where to get Bilstein B12's in USA?

Matticus91 · 10-08-2015, 09:27 AM

I've been searching and cannot seem to find a vendor in the States that sells the B12's for the 135i. Does anyone have any info on this?

Edit: NEVERMIND! Found it, for anyone also looking, they also seem to have the best price:

Just buy Bilstein B8s and the springs separately. I would also buy new mounts and such especially the rear top mounts, these are extremely soft.

what springs would you get?

dtla1 · 10-08-2015, 11:34 AM

I currently have the Eibach Pro-Kit springs as intended to be matched with the B12 kit, but am planning to go to swift springs soon. The eibach gives a bit of a rake to the car which i'm not too fond of, because of this, the front is also really low, causing wheel/tire rubbing issues at times. Note, I also have Dinan fixed camber plates which raise the front up about 1/4" but it is still quite low in the front, "tucked" as the stance nation crowd might say.

Interesting approach, what's the reason to separate it?

It's the same thing either way. You just pay less if you buy the kit from turner motorsports. The only way its cheaper is if you buy used ones.

So then, if it would cost more, why would I buy them separately if I wanted to get the whole set?

Swift springs are a better spring so if you want to go that way you would buy them separate. That may be what he ment.

Are they worth the extra coin? I'm not familiar with the systems just yet.
