suspension upgrade, who sells them?

[Brissie]

Wondering who in oz sells suspension upgrade for the 135?
I am thinking of Eibach springs, with matching shocks, of KW coilover. Where in oz can I get these from, or better still, where in brisbane can I get them from?
Also, has anyone here installed just the lowering spring, with standard shock? Experience? I know lots of people have done that in the states, but I gather our stock suspension are lower than the US model?

Dragan at Inmotive in Sydney for the KW's

Basically any suspension place in Australia can get you Eibach products, its the shock that you will find a bit harder to get depending on what you want.. ie Koni FSD, Bilstein etc etc..

I got my koni FSD's from Proven products

As for KW's. Previously Dragan at Inmotive WAS the distributor for these but he is since sold the business on to East Coast Suspensions.

There are also a few other places you can buy them from in Aus if you want.

An alternative is to buy from the US and get them fitted. Heaps cheaper.

If you are in Melbourne, go and see Andrew at southernBM. I personally haven't used him, but everyone raves about him in the forums. If I live in Melbourne, I would definitely get him to look after my car.

unfortunately I'm in Brisbane!
Ball park figure for cost of KW V1 or V2 coilover in Australia, anyone?

East Coast, ask for Dave +61 2 9545 1044 http://eastcoastsuspensions.com.au/

Did my KW V2's; extremely helpful, loves his bimmers. $500 for fitting. Mine cost $3k, but I know they're more now.

thanks breville.

It isn't worth buying non oem suspension parts from overseas - best doing local for warranty etc. Check with Dave at East Coast, they probably have an agent in Brisbane.

Do a search - I was looking at it earlier, but decided against it for the time being. There were plenty of discussions on kw and approximate pricing as well.. must have been around July/August when I first got the car and have it changed to non rft. I think V2 was approx the same as BMW performance.
