Subject: RE:<E28> Aftermarket Spring Rates / Shock recommendations

Ed Mellinger <meed (at) mbari.org> has started a thread on what springs and shocks to put on his E28.

I sent the following to Ed this morning, I thought others might find it interesting.

Ed,
Have you seen the Bavarian Autosport catalog ?

They have a chart on Matching Suspension Upgrades with Your Driving Style (aligned with Courier-10 font):
