I ran Bilstein B8 and Eibach on my previous E30.
I really liked it, but apparently Eibach springs are very soft, so there are probably many better options for track use.
Bilstein/HR sport combo. Great for a street car if your roads arent perfect
i have a small lift, dont offroad, and commute 70 highway miles a day. i run bilstein 4600s and love them.
Amateurs. I run Bilstein B8's with H&R OE sport springs + 034 solid RSB. About an inch drop with much better damping. I personally still drive it like I stole it with a grin the whole time.
the rear shocks i just replaced were about 50 bucks
On my 2019 GSW 4 Motion, I’m running Golf R springs F & R, Golf R RSB, and B4. With Continental Extreme DWS on 18” wheels, the ride, turn-in, and overall handling are very reminiscent of my Gen VI GTI.
After a few hundred miles, these Bilstein 5100s feel night and day better than the old Dobinsons. I know it's not apples to apples, since the Ds were bottom of the line and 5100s are presumably mid, but they control the body roll and bounce much better. The old ones were pretty stiff unless fully loaded, but these Bilstein are pleasant when empty and supportive when loaded, can't wait to upgrade the fronts!
Definitely go B6. B4 is basically stock. B6 is performance improvement but like, balanced. OEM+ performance improvement while retaining comfort.
I'm running Kings up front and Billy 5125 in back with LC 7 wraps and while it' not total cush it is not overly stiff.
I tried the 034's as well, had Bilstein B8's with MSS kit adjustable springs. Broke the top stud off the B8's and when I sent them to Bilstein for warranty they blamed the stiffer upper strut bushing.
