Hi everyone,
I am currently driving a E34 95 525i and I am planning on buying some suspension stuff for my car. While looking around I've decided to get Dinan Performance Springs, the 25mm Front Roll bar, 19mm Rear Roll Bar, and the Front Camber Plates. Now here are some of my questions.
What is your advice on Dinan Parts for the 525? Any better things I could get?
And I have never worked on a BMW so I need some advice and help on how to install these parts if i do get them. Thanks
There are many suspension setups available for your E34. This siteOriginally Posted by Jonathyk
http://www.bmw4life.com/shocksSpringsGuide.htm will help you with some alternatives, as well as give you a guide for installing them.
My advise is to spend your money elsewhere. Dinan is great if you still have th factory warranty, but outside of warranty you're paying too much. H&R, KW, TEIN, and Bilstein make great suspension components for bimmers. Also check out ground control and UUC for sway bars.
I'd go H&R sport or race springs with bilstein sport struts/shocks. Sway bars you can ask around, but I like the UUC offerings.

Springs/Shocks/Sways would be the best start IMO.
My choices would be Eibach or H&R/Koni Yellow/Racing Dynamics but to each his own.
I didn't think my Eibachs lowered the car enough... maybe the Vogtland springs have a little bit more drop?
This was my car when I had the Eibachs

thx for the advice guys
Not to thread jack, but...anyone here with sway bars? How does this affect the ride?
'94 540ia - Alusil - Oxfordgrun Metallic - BBS RX - Eibach ProKit - E.A.T. Chip - Magnaflow Custom Exhaust - Fuzion ZRi - Euro Trim - Euro Clears
doesn't affect the ride negatively... car is definitely more level during hard cornering though.

Anti-sway bars do exactly what it sounds like they do. They stop the car body from rolling during a turn. Bigger is better.Originally Posted by snaybird1000
Those big brakes on E34nication's car are just HAWT!
E34 540iA Sold 1/06......
Yep. It's too bad they won't fit in the E9, though. That would be sweet.Originally Posted by sdwhitney
