[QUOTE="E34EuroTouring, post: 58021, member: 1026"] Hi Bimmerman, What size rims are you using with the Eibach ?. I had Eibach Prokits with Bilstein sports in my 89 E34. Then I had BBS RK 18inch rims and Yoko AVS Sporta tires. Car looks damn nice lowered, especially with a Zender bodykit. But for normal road, the ride is a bit unconfortable. So I later changed to 17 inch Mparallel replicas. That does the trick for me. While the front really hangs well, I would have preferred the rear springs to be stock. Lowered rear with Bilstein sports is not for going over speed bumps. Only half rebound and a short rebound distance. Stock springs do almost full rebound and rides better. If you use 15 inch rims, it should be no difference as the sideway is long enough to take the absorbed force. Return to the stock springs and keep the Bilstein. PS: I think Bilstein Sports is 20% stiffer than HD. The HD maybe about 5%-10% stiffer than stock Boge but you can hardly feel the difference there. [/QUOTE]
