oh, then you must be sg B E90 then.. nice fnding you here.

Dude, very nice car.

But if you're using Eibachs then you need to run Bilstein B8's actually. Eibach springs in itself are soft and because of that are really low as well. Bilstein b6's are long stroke shocks like Bilstein HD (blacks). In fact even thier damping rates are not far off. Both can be used for mtech springs or H&R springs who drop is minimal but for springs which give a tremendous drop by more than 25mm and the sort need Bilstein B8's by right cos they are short stroke absorbers.

But no worries as handling wise HD's are pretty ok too....a lot of malats are running this setup and they whack corners like nobody's business. And it's more comfortable too. B8's a bit too stiff when it comes to roads that wallow and also yellow strips.

Secret tip : Try using BOGE Turbos. they are cheap and are short stroke too and they cost slightly more than HD's. Have sat in a car running these absorbers with lowering springs and they are awesome. Plus they are not expensive like B8's. And they are ori.....Lots of Bilstein is coming from China nowadays...!!!!

Thanks bro for your explanation and tips, but is little to late to do anything as $$ have spent. Will be wiser the next time.
