    i like it, and it's a pretty good deal. I've known two different people run that setup and they were satisfied.

        I don't know what this noobkid is talk'n bout. Them bav auto springs are designed to have a rally type stiffness.

        Though the billstein s shocks seem tempting, lately I've hearing KONI is king

          Sarcastic?

          Stay away from those springs--Think Eibach Pro-Kit except lower and more prone to sagging. I don't know who Arnold contracted to make the springs but they are piss poor on every level.

              I had them on my first E30 and they were not bad, lowered the car nicely, but after I drove the car for awile I realized they were a bit soft even for street driving.

                The only thing those springs should be paired up with is a trash can.

                  They're known as sag auto which gives you an idea of their quality.
                  Much better choices out there.

                    i dont know why everyone hates on eibach pros, mine are just fine, maybe the cab ones are different

                    but yeah i would say think stock springs but lower, aka bye bye oil pan

                            lol.. i dont what you guys are saying about sagging (when i hear that, i think of an old leaf spring taking a shit and becoming nearly flat), but yes, they are soft. Even with bilstien sport shocks. Car felt like it was tetter-tottering a lot. imo, not something id recommend. My IE3s are stiffer and lower.
