I have ordered some Eibach springs and was wondering which shocks and struts to go with? Koni or Bilstein? I have been reading that the Koni ride better than the bilstein, but was wondering what everyones opinion is. |

I installed Bilstein HD shocks & struts on my '88, and I've been very happy with them.
If the Eibach springs lower the car, I believe you would have to use the Bilstein Sports instead of the HDs. |

Yeah, The eibach are lowering springs. I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with either the Koni Sports or the bilstein Sports. |

i currently have bilstein sports and they are nice.
they don't adjust, but bilstein will set the valves at your request.
some say that bilstein are the absolute best, others say koni.
if you live around seattle, come out and drive my e30 drift car with them, then drive my cabrio with tokico (adjustible) and try to tell the difference
the cabrio is loaded with everything and handles superb.
the track car is stripped of everything and handles superb + a tiny bit rougher, tighter (b/c its much lighter)
i say test drive a few. _________________ .......... |
