for my car i am using eibach springs with nilstein shocks. i know alot of people using the eibachs on ther scca cars and even street cars. i am sure h&r are just as good, but dont hear to many people using them. if you want check out www.bimmerworld.com and they can help you out with jsut about anything.

Go to bimmerforums.com and like 80% of them are using H&R springs on Bilsteins. I went with them because of the difference in height for the back vs front lowering.

My car is running on 16" 205s...what should I plan to get and install to get that look, y'all have. Planning to buy a set of 17" with a 8 off set. Tyres would be front: 225/17-45. Rear: 245/17-40. Any suggestions... Incidentally no body kit (yet)..
