Bilstein v. H&R v. KW

The title says it all, of the coilover suspension kits that are available which is the best quality/performance? I see plenty on H&R and KW but see little talk about Bilsteins, why? Since they are OEM for BMW and many other manufacturers, why do they get little press around here? I'm a newbie to the suspension mod world, so don't flame me please

tons of threads that compare these coilovers. There are a few people on here that have bilsteins. H&R coilovers seem to get the least amount of love on this forum. KW are by far and away the favorite on this forum. Any thread you start asking about which suspension is the most comfortable will be filled with people raving about kw variant 2 (which is what I have also). Ive ridden in a 335 coupe with bilsteins and it drove pretty well. Ive only had my coilovers for a day but Im pretty stoked on em so far.

I am a big Bilstein fan. I've never tried KWs, but as was said before, they get the most love here. I think very few people here are in a position to fairly compare all of these products. I think most have tried one brand before, liked it, and stick with it on most of their cars. That's why I will likely always stick with Bilstein--it's not that I don't like KW, but Bilstein has always suited me, so I perceive more risk in using another product. Honestly, I think you can't go wrong with Bilstein or KW. I've heard enough negatives about H&R to stay away, plus the dampening is not adjustable like the others.
