Congrats!!!! Your car will be utterly transformed with all those goodies. From powerful but sloppy handler, to competent sports sedan. You'll be able to eat 540i's for breakfast.

I have the "L-Tuned/eibach" springs(same exact spring) and there's no way your going to get great handling with this spring....it's all for comfort and to lower the car a little bit. The other mods are nice but the springs and shocks are the heart of the system and the L-tuned stuff is not that stiff

Navaz - you should also consider getting the TOM'S Front and Rear Lower Chassis Braces also...and like CSHFLW said, the L-Tuned Shocks and Springs aren't that stiff. They were geared more towards comfort that razor sharp handling...but I suppose you could try them out and see if they're good enough...live and learn...

I was gonna get the lower brace's as well but steve did not have them at the time. As far as the l-tuned suspension goes I just want to try it if it works the way I want I save 3200 CND, wich I would have spent on the HKS Hyper Dampers. If the L-tuned dont work I'll give them away, and get the HKS from Reg Riemer for those of you who dont know him he's the supra god of Canada. Finished 4th couple years ago at the Car & Driver 1 lap of America, He's just 15 minutes away!.

Huh? My car handles GREAT, thank you. The L-Tuned springs/shocks alone aren't going to be nearly as good as adding the sways in particular, and the extra braces I have tighten up the chassis. Sure you can put in stiffer springs/shocks or coilovers, but then the ride is going to suffer even more, and the costs for coilovers is quite significant.
