    I have Ebach springs and Bilsteins. The car sits and rides nice. It's firm enough but doesn't rattle your teeth. 20161106_125746[1].jpg

    Mostly tourings.
    I have a completely stock replacement suspension. Rides like new. Comfortable and sporty, but not lowered. Can easily deal with bad roads as well.

    4x4 status ftw.

    That depends entirely on your use case.
    If your e30 runs bad, switch to Megasquirt first. Then try new spark plugs, cap and rotor, wires, oxygen sensor, crank shaft position sensor, coolant temp sensor, air flow meter, idle control valve, throttle position sensor, digital motor electronics unit, harmonic balancer, fuel injectors, engine harness...

    To me, "good" means good. Assuming you want to go lower, I'd recommend Bilstein B8 "Sport" dampers and H&R Sport Springs. About 1.2" drop all around. It's not the cheapest option at $700-750 all together, but the warranty is excellent and it can be daily driven and even do light track work. If you want a more aggressive spring, go with the H&R Race.

    I found the eibach pro-kit springs to be too soft.

    depends on what kinda ride you are looking for. lowered, stance, stock, spirited driving, and your budget of course
