If i started modding again i would still do the BBK first (only fronts required really).

I only felt the need for aftermarket suspension once i started pushing the OEM setup on UK tracks & Spa. For the Ring OEM suspension is just fine - just fit top mounts to add extra camber and to prolong Cup tyre life.

As a point of interest, when i removed my OEM suspension i found the rear shocks to be rather corroded and looking worse for wear - particularly rusty around the piston eye end. The car at the time was 6 years old and had covered around 55k miles.

Matt already told you so i'll just say the illuminated doorsills are LED and you'll want it when you see it in person. BMW performance are on another lever to CSL seats. I'm happy with Brembo but will need Intrax - are you selling or what?!! Wiejska and bigos - i had yesterday.

I bet your rears (apart from looking shabby) didn't have much of a rebound left in them
My OEM rears I removed last week haven't rebounded as yet

When was the last time you ran standard calipers & rs29 pads? I honestly think you'd be surprised, already done Bedford & was ok. Plus with me being bit of a pussy and using brakes more compared to your mid corner speeds I'm sure you'd be ok. So, for the money, I stick with suspenders upgrade.
