    Are Bilstein $230 better than tokico?

    If i buy tokico's am i gonna regret it? For street driving are bilsteins worth an extra $230 over tokicos?

    And are H&R race worth 150 more than vogland's

        I've used Tokico blues about 10 years ago, no problems with soft springs and small drop. Also used KYB Agx with Eibach springs no issues, and then Koni and now Bilstein sports. I'll probably sell the bilsteins soon and get Konis though when I get a spare set of front struts cut and welded for GC sleeves.

                  Yeah, took a ride in my friends IS with bilsteins and H&R's (i think )after we finaly fixed it and i had to have some, the ride was better than my stock eta and i was tired of people asking me if i wasgoing mudding. Im glad i waited and didn't cheap out and get tokicos, when i posted this thread i was very new to the e30 world.

                    "street driving" The best for a daily driver are Bilstein Touring and OEM springs. You can put Bilstein's and coil overs on a DD. It's like a $1000 set of tires on a car you drive to work. Some people wouldn't have anything less.
