[QUOTE="E34EuroTouring, post: 58442, member: 1026"] Hi Vanguish, If you are thinking of a more confortable ride without upsetting your handling too much, you might want to go with Bilstein HD or Normal rather than Sports. The yellow Sports are harsh to some people. Nice when roads are smooth like the highway but on normal roads, you might complain like Bimmerman and he is using a 5-series! . On a 328, since it is lighter, you will suffer more especially on those 18inch rims. To me, on 525 with Bilstein/Eibach Prokit and 18in OK on Yoko AVS Sports tires but terrible on Conti Sports tires. Noisy and harsh on Contis!. AVS is rather soft. Great handling but those Yokos wear out too quickly! Expensive. I dislike the rear Bilstein Sports as going over speed bump is not a good feeling!. Stock is better and it does not swat that much. On lowered springs and Sports, it swats too much under loading!. Just a suggestion. PS: If you can get Sachs or H&R, they are more confortable as well, not as great handling as BIlstein but not far off. Unless you seriously track your car and you know what to expect. [/QUOTE]
