Yub Gabriel is cheaper than Bilstein. What we are talking here is Bilstein Black rite? Gabriel is stiffer (harder). What I know, It's from the USA. For balance ratio and control, I would suggest to stick to 1 type of abs for all 4 tyres.

If you want harder, go for Bilstein Yellow (mooore expensive) or Gabriel. Bilstein Black and a combi with Eibach Pro-kit is a legend. I'm running with that combi too. Comfy and just nice fer cornering too.

Some people like to mix & match. Up to individuals. But, be careful as ur handling & comfy might be compromised =) Good luck.

As for me BILSTEIN...why? Cause i notice if you are not using stock engine.
Try not to use stiff cheap abs,thts y it does not last long.You may have super handling but will your body exterior last. It will crack your body kits....trst me.
I experience it...unless banyak $$$$$...
Dnt torture your ride.......let it live......

H&R is more stiffer and its not as low as Eibach. Eibach is softer. This is my experience. If not mistaken, both springs cost the same at RM1200 brand new. I stand corrected

Hi there...I got my Bilstein B8 + H&R springs from Msport in Sunway. For E36 the H&R spring isn't a perfect fit into the upper cap (dunno what its called but the the top part of the spring rests on the cap) so need some forcing in.

I have yet to sit in a ride that has Eibach springs with Bilstein B8 so I can't make any comparison but from what I've read around in a few other forums, H&R is definitely stiffer compared to Eibach. If you're looking for comfort you should try Eibach.

Alternatively you can go for coilovers KE KE!
