I'm selling my old UUC/Sachs suspension that UUC no longer sells. I believe that bavauto sold the same setup under only the sachs name. I was hanging on to it in anticipation of getting an E46 Touring but I've decided to wait on buying an extra car and I need the extra space.
More on the suspension itself...
I have about 50k on them and had no issues at all with them when I pulled them off to put a new/lower setup on the car. This was the ideal setup for me when I got the car since I kept my stock wheels and just wanted something that closed up the gaps slightly. It rode great. More solid than the sport suspension that came on the car but far from being rough in any sense of the word.
Lowering was only about an inch all the way around with no rake, which added to the OEM look that I was seeking. There may not be much of a visible difference in a ZHP, possibly more on a ZSP, with the most dramatic difference in a non sport sedan or coupe.
If you're looking for a setup that is more conservative in ride and lowering or, like me, a stepping stone towards something more agressive, this is a solid choice
When new, the setup cost about $700, I'm going to ask what a new set of springs would be since the shocks naturally are more of the wear items of the system so the first $300 takes it!
WAS $300-NOW $250 local pickup in San Diego or WAS $300-NOW $250 plus buyer pays for shipping.
