Suspension setups

[???1] With so many Springs and shocks setup's on the market for 328is E36,its so Confusing,
What would you guys think is the best setup for street.NOT STIFF BUT WITH A NICE RIDE AND THE DROP LOOK? and what do you think about the H&R Springs with Bilstein shock.

My advice would be if your going to do it, spend the money and get a nice kit it will be a lot better than trying to do it the cheap way. H&R is good Tokiko is good also.

going with a kit makes it easy and guranteed done the right way.

i am not sure about the e36, but what i am doing with my e30, is i will get the e30 m3 springs and find shocks to match. (i will be looking at adjustables so i can better balance the car)
the springs are half the price of kits - modification will end up 3/4 inch lower and a tad bit stiffer.
do a little reserach on if the m3 springs in the e36 will give you the same effect.

other thing is www.bavauto.com has a pretty easy way to pick out just the right suspension kit. ive seen it at other places too.

i would take coilovers into consideration. you can adjust right to THE spot as you like it.

I took H&R's off my M roadster and went with Dinan becuase the H&R were too stiff and too low making the car ride like a truck. I have Dinan Stage II's now and it is a much better ride, with great performance. I bought them in February of last year when Dinan had a 40% off sale, $1500.00 installed including Koni adjustables!
