    In my 93 touring that I sold, I had billie sports and susp tech springs from the sedan with SLS deleted. I liked the ride minus hitting the bump stops on uneven parts at freeway speeds. Now I have a 95 touring and I am wondering what to have. I want what straight6power wants, better steering response, stiffer handling, close wheel gap, and a stable freeway sped feeling. I dont mind if it is slightly harsh. SO far, it sounds like kyb gr2s with vogtland/h&r/some other dropping/stiffer spring is winning.

      I'm going through this as well and my options limited to either the Eibach pro kit or Eibach sport lines for springs
      I have more options with shocks, Bilstein, KYB, Konis...

      The sportlines lower the most but i need to choose a shock that will work nicely for comfortable daily driving and some ocasional fun in the twisties.

      The Bilstein sports and Eibachs i have on the e30 are great in the twisties but too hard for city driving, where most roads have large speedbumps and cobble stones. I don't want to have to suffer the same in the e34.

      Which shock would you guys pick to go with the Eibachs?

        I have ground control coilover conversion setup in my e34 daily driver; its good enough to handle twisty mountain roads and terrible san francisco pot holes.
        durable enough to dd also

          ^ baller! :) What spring rates did you go with, and Koni or Bilstein?

          I need to send my billy sports for e34 and get them re-valved...current shocks blow!

            Koni. Will check rates, is pretty mild and can take our terrible street surface decently
            Full length gc conversion setup

            Height is also reasonable
