Sachs Sport Suspension - e34

[aeldk5g]

Does anyone have the Sachs suspension installed on their e34. I'm looking for a setup closer to the stock ride, but with a lower center of gravity.

Any feedback or pictures would be appreciated.

The Sach's kit will probably be your best choice. I put one in my old 535 about 5 years ago, and with the 17" wheels, the ride was much firmer than stock, but the handling was great! Due to the firmer suspension, your brakes will even seem to work better. I did find out later, when I put a set of 16" wheels on the car, that the ride was much closer to stock with the benefits of the lowered look and much better handling.
I would recommend the Sachs system, along with new thrust arms and control arms and any other possibly worn suspension component while you are in there. There's nothing worse than doing the job twice. Someone posted that the price was going up soon also. I believe it was around $635 shipped, going up to $675....when I bought mine they were $730 shipped.

Jr,

Thanks for the feedback. I'll be running the stock 225/60/15 alloys so it sounds like it should have a strong road car feel to it.

Anyone have other input or pics of ride height after Sachs installation?

Thanks

I got the sachs setup 4 months ago and i tell you it is like driving a new car.. i love it
it lowered the car just the perfect amount; not so much in the back because my shocks were shot (lol) but the front sits with the tire nicely tucked about 1 inch under the fender

not sure how to post pics here but email me and i will send you some
