Eibach Pro-Kit or Bav Auto Springs (For Looks)

[Kruzen]

excellent car,

thanks

how are they as far as suspension goes though?

Thats the ride height i'm looking for, I don't want to have to worry about rubbing or anything on bad roads..

it is good for street... comfortable ride. i ran them for a couple years, no complaints. this setup will go on my next e30.

what did you change to and why?

ground control.. y? got a good deal on a complete used setup... was just looking for a more aggressive suspension minimizing body roll. they lack the comfort the eibach pro kit had.. two different animals w/ two different functions.

Does the eibach kit come with both shocks and springs?

I was thinking of doing IE stage III springs with bilstein sports but i think it might be too low/rough for my tastes, for now at least. I really like the ride height of yours, but i still want to get better cornering/handling performance than i have with the stock suspension.

wrong. hd's. sports and hd's are the same, other then sports having smaller bump stops in the front, and the shaft do not stick out as far on sports, but the actual length is the same.

this is what i was told by bilstein, and w/ their recommendation, used my hd's i already had, and just chopped 6mm off the bump stop. all has been well, 2+ years later. and these exact shocks and springs will go on my next car most likely.

Cool thanks. which is stiffer? hd or sports?

The valving is the same. I have sports though.

[Kruzen]

Hmm.. cool. Maybe i'll just go eibach + bilsteins for now.
