      you build race cars, yet you're stumped by this?

      in any case, bilstein HDs are engineered to be stiffer than stock, but with stock ride height. They should NOT be used for lowered applications as it puts a lot of extra stress on the shocks, even when just sitting in a parking lot. This extra stress can cause the shock to blow. you should really invest in a set of shocks which is actually designed to be used for lowering springs, such as Bilstein Sports or a comparable shock.

            HD's can hold a car up on their own. Pro Kit is for lil sissy boys. Ask Matthew Mayhem.

              Or Jordan. Who swore up and down that it was the best E30 suspension kit.
              That car had more bodyroll than stock suspension,

                I heard that Jordo really liked the roll. Or was that just rolls on his women? ;)

                          i build bmw race cars for m.a.s racing so like i said they might be something else couse yes they are alittle too stiff to be hd's but thats my closest guess
                          Therefore its either:

                          1-) They are a set of Pro-Kit, and they are soft.

                          2-) They are stiff, because you know what stiff is, and they are NOT a Pro-Kit.

                          3-) You have no idea what stiff is, because it is a Pro-Kit.

                            having personally owned and driven on eibach prokit springs in two different e30's, I can say without a doubt that they are quite soft, and there is definitely some body roll to speak of. much more with prokit springs than some of the other popular alternatives anyways.

                            since you think otherwise, and you know stiff..I would say your eibackz aren't from the pro kit
