whats your goals for the car? just goign looks/handling? lowering springs would work great.


as for adj shocks/struts strange engineering is second to none in that department. eibach also makes great springs.

Would tokico D-specs be better for handling though?

I'm more of a handling guy. I like to shut up the people at the bimmerforums.
