The springs are made by Eibach for Bilstein and it's marked Bilstein by Eibach Federnstadt. Im using these springs with my regular Boge shocks. High speed sweeping corners and highway cruising above 120KPH is fantastic! Not one complain!But It's the low speed ride that irritates me. I'd say the car is no longer BMW comfortable but has become something like Perdana comfortable. Yup, i'm really a fussy old fart when it comes to ride quality. I feel the ride is now out of character with the E34 as the E34 is a somewhat of a passenger and luggage cruiser and not a all out sports car. I only have 150bhp anyway!So you reckon stiff shocks with original springs will do the trick for me then huh? I think so too because I want a pliant but controlled ride instead of the stiff but badly dampened ride i'm getting now. So what you're saying really makes perfect sense to me.</blockquote>
