I found a mint set of bilstein pss coilovers that i could not pass up . I installed them sat night and i must say the ride and handling is much better than stock . I lowered it a bit to give a nicer stance and not destroy my front lip .
I safely stored my stock suspension so i can return the car to factory specs .

I'm liking the slightly lowered look.
Are you getting much attention with that rare beast around Regina?

Thanks stirling im really enjoying the new suspension and look . I do get some looks but no one really knows what an Alpina is much less a B8 .

Looks like the front came down more than the back. It looks better IMO. More consistent fender gap when comparing the front to the rear which looks good :)

I still haven't done it :o I've been on holiday for the past 3 weeks or so, so I haven't made any progress. Also, trying to look after 4 cars makes it more difficult to get things done. There's so many little things I want to do to each car...

I guess you haven't had any problems yet catching the front spoiler on any bumps or anything? It looks pretty low...but it looks great :D

I really struggled on a decision to lower it because of the front lip but i got the coilovers so cheap i thought if it doesnt work out i put it back to stock and sell them . But the lip hasnr been a prob at all .
You might have to pare down your fleet :D.
