[QUOTE="fabianyee, post: 96998, member: 6"] I'm using the Titan absorbers I bought over from Tom. It's not the hi-low adjustable ones, this one is using back the original spring perch... I did not opt to use the springs that they provided, prefered to use the Eibach prokit I'm using.. The eibach springs are indeed rather soft and can be easily compressed and infact the absorbers are actually doing a lot to hold the weight up. and during hard cornering, the bump stop comes into play as well to keep the springs from fully compressed. Back to the Titan story. The titan absorbers are actually quite soft as the springs they provided are harder. So with the Eibach+titan, the eibach springs get compressed fairly. So I went for a retune (RM150) and Richard set it to harder bound n rebound. A lot better but still not enuf to my liking, the springs will still get fully compressed though not as frequently. Richard recommended to use the stiffer springs but I chose to stick to the Eibach as I want the absorbers to match the springs. If he can do that, I'm sure u guys here would be more interested with the Titan.... I would be paying him a visit soon to further tune it and to add bump stop to prevent the springs from fully compressed. If still can't get the setting i'm expecting, will go back to my Bilstein Blacks.... oh btw, I'm using W124 rear absorbers for the rear. I think it's even stiffer than the Bilstein Sport... ;) and cheaper..... As for Titans for E34, there is at least 1 E34 running with it. 535i shud know who that guy is... [/QUOTE]
