Ok I have the Eibach Sportline springs and I was wondering what you guys think the best pair of front struts would be for my car. I am just going to do the front right now and then the back. Which shocks would be the best for around $100 or so. Any comments are welcome.

 

No help from anybody. I meant $100 a piece not $100 for 2.

 

Still too cheap

89 a peice for the rear

You can buy a whole set of Bilsteins for ~$310. http://www.bimmerparts.com

Cheaper than just the fronts at AZ.

 

Yep, you *could* pay $310 from some internet based company who knows nothing about your particular car or application. Or you could pay a little more from a company who is easy to find on any forum, knows your car in depth as well as the application (and who in this case will tell you that HD Bilstein's aren't the best idea for lowering springs), and also that Sportline springs are all show vs. go.

MHO

 

I was just trying to point out that he could get the shocks cheaper than AZ.

 

Well what kind of springs would be best for show and go??? Are the Eibach's not all that great or something, if so what is the best spring to get?

 

The Eibach Sportlines simply drop the car too low and reduce the suspension travel to next to nothing..

Most consider a 1" drop to be about optimal with proper dampers, relocation brackets, adj panhard bar, etc to make it all work together...

If you have a goal or a budget or both, give Sam Strano a call... He'll tell you what you want to get or possibly tell you that you can't have it all for the price you're willing to pay...

98+ Eibach Pro Kit springs
Hotchkis springs
Suspension Techniques Springs

with a set of $500 revalved Billstein HD's should give you a good ride...

If you're not set on lowering your car, then the regular Bilstein HD's with your stock springs will be a nice improvement for around $325...
