hello to all
i recently got myself a 6/90 e34 m50 525i
diamond black, tan leather, 5 speed manual
n i must say i bloody love the thing. getting it up to A1 condition
engine is great, replaced the viscous fan, air intack hose, and coolant hoses
still getting coolant level complaints, might be the sensor or need to reset delete fault codes.
still getting the odd brake light switch warning once in a while. so got a new one on the way or will try cleaning the connections
sound is in so all i need to sort out is
*eat chip
*suspension
*gettting rid of warning signals
*paint touch up.
*cabin filter(on its way) ac gas top up
*missing tools in back tray
*glove box issue's
*wiper n a wierd wind sceen leak into the glove box

so i need a little help getting my suspension set up right
im after a lower ride. comfy ride. less body roll, n a bit firmer on corners
thinking of going koni adjust shocks but not sure wot spring set up i should go
also where to buy since i live in melbourne australia
also Front and Rear Strut Bar Brace below. are these ones trouble or can you recomend a worthy strut

skip the strut braces and invest that money in sway bars
