Also what are the spring rates on your TC Klines?
I ran the same exact setup on my e36 m3 bilstein sport/ h+r sport and I agree the car was harsh except for on smooth roads. I think you should go with the koni's , they ride nicer than the bilsteins. As far as the springs go I think the eibachs or h+r would be fine paired up with the koni's. I would have to say that the bilstein/ h+r set up rode hard because of the bisteins. I'm running 350/ 600 front and rear per TC Klines recomendation for a daily driven street car, but I heard other people run higher spring rates and have no complaints. Heres another point that I took into account, by the time you buy adjustible koni's front and rear add springs your looking at $1200-1250. So why not the spend the extra $500-600 for the coilovers, labor will be the same. Good luck with your decision.
