Hi
Has anyone tried this setup? Im deciding if I should also get a set of lowering springs with it
(Most likely ACS). Does anyone have any experiences with b6 with stock springs and it's pro/cons?

Thanks!

although i do not have personal experience with the setup you're inquiring about, with stock springs use the B6 and with lowering springs use B8 or koni yellow.

My thoughts from an f31 xdrive perspective :

Makes for a good base setup, ie cuts out the wallowing of stock shox, but if your an enthusiast, stock cheapy springs with b6 will probably leave you wanting for more.
I wouldn't recommend b6 with acs on stock bump stops, but with bump stop tweeks makes for a nice tight setup, can feel a little over dampened at times but overall quite good.
The options with b6 all have there compromises, depends whats most important to you.

Thank you, all I'm looking for is to get rid of the floaty feeling and reduce body roll by a bit. I think I will go with the stock springs for now and see how I like it.

What, would you say, is the problem with b6/acs on stock bump stops? What tweaks would you recommend?

Imo stock spring and b6 will reduce floaty feeling and give the feeling of improved body roll control.

stock bump stops are near touching so any damper compression brings the bump stops into play too soon, I felt it gave a bumpy ride.
Not many options on the b6 fronts but to cut the blistein bump stops in half. On the rear I felt a reduced height bump was needed and opted for m3 stops giving around 10-15mm damper travel before the stops come into play.

Do you happen to know the part number on the m3 rear stops or where to get them?

Does that rubber boot fit over the Bilstein shock or did you trim it? Or am I just completely misjudging the size of the part from the diagram?

The m3 stop is just for the rear and is a straight swap for the oe stop. stock bilstein stop cut down in the front.
