good price, good guy too.
I like Eibachs on the e30 with bilstein sports, rides good IMO.

So do I, except that I want to be at least 1.5" all around, and the Eibachs only go 1".

Have you removed the rear spring pads? If i recall they lose about half an inch, i never noticed any noise increase but ride height decrease is noticeable IMO.

The "N16" springs are for the new (post-88 ) cars and the "O16" are for the old (pre-88 ) cars. For some reason BavAuto sells different springs for them.

Got it, well my car is a 91 so I guess that they are not going to work out. Thanks for the offer.

They'll fit its just that the earlier cars are ~100 lbs lighter so the drop will be less than .1" smaller than if you used the springs for the newer car. So like 1.15" drop instead of 1.25" drop.
