e46 advice needed and my new E90 blacklines

[DieselFan]

Hi so my daily gumtree search has finally paid off, and I found myself some E90 black line taillights.

I have 3 questions.

1. I bought new indicator bulbs. But they are orange and make the light look slightly orange. Is it possible to get clear bulbs that make the amber signal?

2. Are the manual gearboxes the same for the E90 and the e46? As I'm going to be doing the conversion in the near future.

3. I am going to be overhauling the suspension on the e46 as the shocks are shot. Is this is a good setup? Koni STR.Ts with H&R sport springs. And how much of a drop can i be expecting with the sports springs? I want something that is closet to stock sports suspension.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Usually the springs have the drop printed on the box, or you could ask your supplier what the drop is..

Thanks, I was looking at their website and it did say what the drop was. But I assumed it was for the regular suspension. I did the car search on H&R website and found its a .75 drop at the front and .25 at the rear for the sports suspension. I probably wont even notice it.

Is that mm? Can't be right :fencelook:

Should make a huge difference in handling though, I have a set of H&R springs on my car, will be following up with the Koni shocks soon, got them from moranor, maybe PM him and ask for technical details, i had a similar issue with measurements and he helped me out :thumbs:

Thats what it says:fencelook:

Remember thats from the sports suspension which is already lowered.

Prices are in dollars, and Americans don't know what a millimeter is :biglol:

0.75inches = 19mm
0.25 = 6.3mm

Thank you, tell me on your website. What are the bilstein 330d shocks? What makes them specifically for the 330d?
