Hi Guys, new here just picked up a 1988 vert for the summer. A few questions. In my opinion the best looking stance is this one from Barry:

Thankssigpic

Hey everyone, first post on r3vlimited. I'm a fairly new owner of a 1992 318i Vert.
Right now the suspension is completely stock, and it has about 152,000 miles on it.
I've been reading through this thread trying to figure what I should do, but there are so many different opinions I can't wrap my head around it.
Since this car is my (enthusiastic) daily driver, I want something that will be comfortable yet decent performance-wise. I'm thinking Bilstein Sports and the H&R Cabrio springs, but I've lately been reading in this thread that they're not very good. Also, those springs are for the 325, not the 318. :/
Also, what other components should I work on considering everything is completely stock? (Control arms, bushings, etc, etc?)
Basically, I'm pretty lost and I could use some opinions. Thanks everyone.
Edit: I'm also considering that the roads around Maryland tend to have potholes and what-not. The M42 engine has a low oil-pan that I don't want to hit.

GE coils : 450f/650r
2 inch cut housings
KYB MR2 AGX rears
factory bushings everywhere
i LOVE the ride quality. if any of you are thinking about going low this is IMHO the best setup. maybe a stiffer spring rate but for DD this is beautiful.

Wanting a set of bilstein sports and I have on hand a free front pair of e36 M3 stock springs. Will that combo work? Or would I need to do Billy HD's with those.'89 Delphin 2.8 Cabrio
