I have a 1998 318i. I need rear shocks front struts and rear springs. I was informed by my mechanic I should get Bilstein. Problem is Bilstein  doesn't make springs. Which combo would you guys pick?
 
 H&R springs w/ Bilstein
 Eibach spr w/ Bilstein
 Koni spr w/ Bilstein
 
 or are there any complete kits that you would reco. I am not paying 1470 for bilstein coil overs for sure!
- Trig

Oh and my rear left wheel bearing is bad..should i DIY or let the mechanic do it? He said he is going to charge me 133 for the equipment alone.....but when i look up bearing the only thing remotely close is the bearing and hub combo on AutohausAZ.com.
 Help me out here guys.

hi there. i just fitted my 328 with eibach springs and they seem todo the job.

Did you purchase all the equipment yourself? was it just the springs or all the suspension equipment?  

 I need someone to give me complete instructions on all the equipment I must purchase to replace front struts rear shocks and springs all around. I keep talking to peol ehere in hawaii and I get a different answer everytime. Some guy quoted me some 1300 in equipment yeaterday!! That sounds like bs. Im not buying coil overs for crying out loud! lol

you need a workshop manual like the TIS to perform the job yourself. the software is quite helpful on starters and may save you lots of your time and money.
