    what shocks to get

    hey guys i picked up a 89 325i 2 door about two weeks ago and i need to replace the shocks.....its already lowered...havent checked out what the suspension is yet but will be in a day or too.....just wanting to get some opinions from you guys. She's my dd but i'd like a somewhat stiff supension as i would like to get into autox for fun here around town.

      If the car has shorter/stiffer springs than stock, Bilstein sport shocks.
      The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

          Basically this. Everyone has 'em.

            Caves, why lower the car? Don't you want to pull the sailboat? I don't think keeping the car lower is such a good idea considering you're going to be hitting some boat ramps ;).
