      What type of Eibachs?
      Without that we cant help.

      Race, Comps, Street?


      Tried and true:
      H&R Sports w/ Bilsteins
      H&R Race w/ Bilsteins OR Koni SA's
      Eibach Prokit w/ Bilsteins
      Eibach Race w/ Koni SA'a OR bilsteins


      Leda Coil-overs with Penske remote adjustable shocks. Now THATS a setup!

        Get GC and be happy with it, one of my friends has Eibach prokit, I think, and he doesnt like them, he says its little bit too soft.

        BTW, did you get stuff that I send in mail?

              Ahhh yes.
              Well when you are a lucky SOB like me, you manage to aquire rare goodies.
              Eibach did make other springs for the E30. Race/Comp were the options. Currently NLA. I have a set on my car and my father has a set on his M3.

              But with the pro-kit, bilsteins will be fine, but the Koni Single Adjustables will be better. Depends on what you wish to budget.

              Imho, pro-kit is much to soft.
              I'd prefer a set of H&R race, H&R Sports or Eibach Race's. But with those, you'd most likely want to run the Koni's.

              The BEST way to decipher the setup you want, is to find someone local who has the setup and is willing to give you a demo ride.


              Camber correction: It is not of any importance for the setups you have mentioned. The lowering will not create excessive camber.

              HTH,
              Chris

                    The question I have yet to see raised is, what you will be doing with the car? If you are going to track it and Auto-X it then I would go with some of the other set-ups mentioned. If like in my case you are just using this as a daily driver and want the car to look good and handle a lot better then go woth the Bilstien/Eibach setup. Just my .02

                      me personally, it'll be a daily driver, but I'd like the adjustability of the Konis. I just can't justify the GC setup yet.....


                      and yes, the better it looks, the happier i am haha

                        well i'd be auto-x and daily drivers, but i'm only most likely only be keeping the car for another years as i am planning on investing into an m3...to persue my real dreams. looks are important to me but i rather it be more useful track wise, as i love to fly around corners.

                            I don'e believe Tokico uses Eibach springs. THere Plant and wherehouse are local to me and I beleive they manufacture all of there own stuff here in CA. I have heard good and bad about Tokico but that means nothing as I have no personal experience with them.
