One thing ive thought about is doing the M3 conversion but with ZSP suspension. So just changing out the front arms and rear subframe bushings and see where that goes.

Good to know about BMW>H&R

OP what did you deicide to go with?

Interesting thread. I'm tossing up the Pro-kit with FSD myself.

I am temped to get the great deal on the b12 package at the moment but a lot of people are saying the b8's are too stiff for daily driving...vs the slightly unpredictable FSD shock - especially in cold weather?

cheers

I want the most comfortable shock out there for ride quality, but ones that will actually give good performance as well.

Love my Yellows - you won't go wrong there.

Once upon a time, my '81 BMW bike had leaking Koni shocks. They were many years old, and a salesman I spoke with had deep reservations about Koni replacing under lifetime warranty.

I held firm - a request was made. New shocks appeared a week later, under warranty, zero cost.

Yeppur. Buy Koni.

Critical to good result: Shock & springs are matched.

Mine came with Ground Control's Street/School package. Excellent result.

I had koni yellows + H&R Sport springs installed recently and they feel 90% like stock sport suspension. Only time it feels stiffer is when you hit a pot hole.

I did not know it was possible to have such a comfortable ride at this ride height.

I've had my Koni FSD shocks and Eibach Pro-kit springs for 4 years and love every mile I've driven on the setup. It's a huge improvement over the stock Sport Suspension on my 08 335i e90. Not too stiff and not too soft; just right for everyday driving.

Tire Rack has some tests of the various Eibach suspension stages (springs only, springs with matching dampers, springs with dampers and sway bars). Take a look at that under Suspensions on their web site. It's a relatively old test done on a 3 series, and worth reading.

Im also looking at these options with the eibach pro kit. I want better handling and an acceptable dd on a 330i.

Fsd is off my list due to reports of unpredictability, esp with 4 on board.
Bilstein B12 is on sale but theres reports - even in this thread - of a very firm ride.
Eibach pro system looks nice but i cant find anyone to ship to austala for a reasonable cost.
Bilstein touring B4s looks really good, but only two members here have tried it. Looks VERY similar to pro- system shocks and is economical.

Did i miss any? Not doing coilovers obviously.
