Message: <blockquote data-quote="teejay" data-source="post: 296011" data-attributes="member: 51">Eibach Pro Dampers are made by Bilsteins. Same set Bilstein makes for thier sport kit with springs, but springs made by Eibach. Here is the scoop,You can never match any dampers with any springs, even if you did do the calculations of rebound and dampening rates, there will be trade offs Best bet is to get a set made for each other, this is because the valving pressures in the dampers are made to match the spring rates. If the springs are progressive, so will the dampers valving guides be made progressive too. Eibach come out with a few types of lowered springs, mainly the Pro and Sport Kit, then it also had different springs for 4 cylinders, 6 cylinders and convertibles. YOu can follow manufacturer's recommendation to match dampers but it won't be 100%. For e36, there wasn't a necessary change to use lowered/shorter dmapers. Tumbleweed,i think you are looking for progressive suspension which can only be achieved with the mono-shocks and springs made for the e36-presummably you are using it for your e36. These set are hard to find as most of the bilsteins here are twin tubes. I had a progressive sport kit on the e30 a way long time ago, and it was perfect. THe best bet is to have a higher dampening rate than higher rebound or else your back-side will be aching after a long ride- YOu will still get a slight softer handling characteristic, but you can increase your antiroll bars thickness and reposition the droplinks to the absorbers for a firmer feel. BTW monotube is similair design to bikers lingo of upside down fork- and mr pussy i'm not dissing anybody here....!!</blockquote>
