You bet!

Shot you a PM, I have to double check our wholesale on them but I might be able to do better for you guys

I'll update you guys tomorrow!

Nothing other than the stock pictures at the moment.

Bilstein's B8's just seem to work so perfectly with the H&R Sports. I swear they must develop them side by side.

very interesting that you say they work hand in hand with h&r sports!!! did they ever bottom out for you on your 2010 335?

is it an amazing spring/shock combo that just simply works??

I've heard good reviews from others with the combo.

I think I'm ordering mine this week, so I will have them on within a few days of receiving them. The first thing that I'm going to do is drive down the street with the bumps that bottom out my rear shocks. That will tell the story for me. Most of the sources whom I have spoken with who have extensive Bilstein experience have stated to expect a stiffer ride. Thank God!

Never bottomed it out, but I have a habit of avoiding potholes like the plague.

Also, it is advisable to trim the bump stops down by a few MM on lowered suspensions to help alleviate some of the bottoming out. Most suspension manufacturers either recommend it, or provide shorter bump stops to help accomplish it.

Ah I see. Is it best to just have the shop trim them down a bit?

Also are you getting the full front/rear bilstein b8 setup or just the rears? Some people have opted just for the rears as they said the front shocks are fine on our car.

Usually yes. Although I haven't seen anyone complain of bottoming out the suspension when using the H&R's with the Bilsteins yet. Its usually a symptom of under dampened springs.

I'm doing the rear only unless Rich offers a GB. With a GB I'll do front and rear.

How much did they charge for install? I'm curious if their price is better than some of our local tuners.
