    Eibach, Koni, or H&R Help me pick out my new suspension

    Here are my current thoughts

    I have a hook up where I can get these setups for all around the same price

    Which are better the Eibach pro-kit springs or H&R sport springs (which have higher spring rates and handling???)

    <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=2 width=760 border=0><TBODY><TR vAlign=top><TD class=searchheadnew colSpan=5>H&R Touring Cup Suspension Kit</TD><TD class=searchhead2new>Product Details </TD></TR><TR vAlign=top><TD class=searchresultnew width=160> </TD><TD class=searchresultnew width=226>Front and Rear Fitment Ride Height: Moderate Lowering
    Note: Avg Low 1.5"F 1.0"R
    For models after 6/22/92. Matched Performance springs and custom valved shocks. Models with BMW M-Technik will have less lowering. Will not work with convertible models.

    ANOTHER OPTION IS TO GET KONI S/A and either get (Eibach pro-kit springs, H&R sports, or KONI Sport springs)

    Get koni sa from ebay shipped for $555 and H&R sports from wherever. You will not be upset. I just did this last month and the ride is incredible not to harsh and adds a lot of nice nice handling. Not to mention the drop is perfect for this car.

    Do you have to do anything special to install the Konis? I've heard of people having to grind stuff off or fabricating things on the strut hats for these to work. Just a simple install?

    That is only for m3's they come as cartridges. It's a simple install for everything else. However it looks like you have a 92 and I heard they had some weird suspension.
