09 BMW M3 SEDAN (M-DCT), 04 JDM SPEC HONDA FIT
Bilstein B12 Pro Kit

I have had this car for 2 weeks not (E350 BT Sport), I am not impressed with the lazy chassis. Is anybody running the aforementioned suspension? If so, how hard was the install, and how muh did it tighten up the car? I would like it to become something more of a European tourer. Is the valving in the Bilstein car pretty good?

Thanks in advance,
Andy

Surely hope your frame of reference isn't the M3 that you're currently showing in your profile...?

I can't wait to find out what you find! I don't expect this car to even shake a stick at the E90 M3 that I sold. That thing was a beast. I did expect it to handle a bit better than my grandmothers Buick though. I have a suspicion that it is just do to an overly soft suspension, and maybe some stiffer sway bars. You have to love this thing on the open Autobahn though. It has the stability of a freight train!

You should of stepped up to the 550. I think you would of found great benefit in the active dampening system of the airmatic in sport mode.
