My shocks/springs on my DD need replacing so I'm wondering what a good setup you would reccomend for a DD is. No autox or track use in the near future, I just something that lowers the car a bit from stock, and keeps it fun to drive. I've heard m3 springs are good for a DD, what are the lowering specs on those? I was tossing around the idea of H&R sports and bilstein shocks, but perhaps that is a bit overkill for a DD?

Eibachs make the car go to low for worry free daily use. I run H&R OE sports, which are just slightly higher that the regular sports, with billy hd's and the setup is perfect. The spring rates are identical as well as the shock rebound so the car handles as well as the sport setup. I highly recomend it.Back to my roots

Koni dampers ride significantly more comfortably than Bilsteins. For the long technical reasons behind this, do the search as I mentioned.
ok, so where do i get the Konis for a good price? bimmerworld doesn't sell them.

I remember www.shox.com used to be the best price, but I haven't shopped for new dampers in years. Someone else may chime in.

I found this thread where that info you talked about was offered. I'm convinced, so which ones should I buy? I just want to drop em in and go, i don't want to dicker with adjusting unless you have specific settings you can recommend. Thanks for your info Mystikal, you just saved me from making the ride rougher on an already stiff car :)

Your welcome! Glad I could be of help.
Just puchase any Koni Single Adjustable that is for the 6-cylinder cars. Supposedly the M-Technik Koni model is slightly stiffer.
I'd just run them full soft, especially with street springs (H&R Sport). I ran mine full soft even with coilovers, when they were new they were great. The adjustment becomes a factor when the damper starts aging.
