David,
Do you have the Alpina specs for rebuilding the Bilsteins? As well, do you have the spring rate for the Alpina B7 Turbo springs? How would you describe the ride/handing difference between the Alpina set-up and your current set-up with the H&R and Billy Sports? The reason why I'm asking is because a the present time I'm rolling with a Dinan set-up on my e28 M5 and I anticipate that sometime in the future will want to replace/upgrade the suspension. |

I like the ride of the Bilstein Sp / HR combo myself - but some say too harsh not me...I have this on my M5 as well and like it a lot. BTW I have a extra set of Bilstein Sports for M5 brand new never used or installed. If you have interest pm me. I may have sold the H&R springs new also that I have. I need to verify. Some prefer Mtech & Bilstein sport combo. I have not had a chance to drive one yet. Alpina suspension is too expensive and too rare for anything but a alpina IMHO. This is why I am sitting on mine. Also B9 E28 uses different set up vs B7 turbo |

Welcome David
Quite the list of cars you've got there! Care to post up some photos of your E30 M3 as well? I love the look of these cars, but can't seem to bring myself to buy one. A buddy of mine had one for sale a few years back, and I'm kicking myself for not buying it because the prices for them seem to have skyrocketed ever since. |

I will guaranty, you will be so hooked that e28 would become a bench mark for comparison. |

FYI, I had a leaking Bilstein and called the So Cal shop. I gave them the stamped # on shock and they had all info they needed to revalve. Sent it off and got it back. All is good
Hey Mark in Toronto. You mentioned you had a Dinan setup that your thinking of replacing at some point. Do you have sways too? I'd be interested for my 88M6 if you decide to let them go. I had a set on my 85 M635 and the rocked |

They know the Bilstein Sp and HD valving spec's but the Alpina valving is foreign to them...unless something recently has changed

Yep, sways as well. You will have dibs on the parts when I refresh the suspension at some point in the future.
