so what does it have at present?

You're probably now looking at an aftermarket set of dampers and springs, possibly Bilstein and H&R springs as the Alpina parts are hugely expensive.

It's sat on Bilstein shocks but a previous owner has fit lowered springs
and the front Spoiler is too low!

Parts catalogue with Alpina part numbers.

The spoiler does sit pretty low by todays standards.
What is the distance from the ground of your spoiler?

What lowering springs has he fitted? If they are eibach's or sililar, the ride height won't go up with genuine Alpina Springs as they are lowered springs anyway.

B3's have low front splitters, they catch everything. I avoid roads with speed humps, if i have to go over one wheel at a time to prevent catching, and always reverse park!

Is anyone interested in my suspension.

1. Oem Front and Rear Shocks fully re built by Bilstein and replaced the rods.

Cost just over £600 to refurbish but decided to buy brand new to compliment the new springs.. I am inviting offers.

2. Bilstein B6 & B8 with red Eibach springs.
Will take £350 for these.
This setup went on my car and done about 1500 miles and will soon be removed from the car.

If interested - send me a pm and we can have a chat.

Thanks
Sab
