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.

Pros: really liked it
Cons: Eibach springs soft
Vehicle: BMW

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.

Pros: reminiscent of 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!

Pros: control body roll, pleasant when empty
Cons: old ones were stiff

Definitely go B6. B4 is basically stock. B6 is performance improvement but like, balanced. OEM+ performance improvement while retaining comfort.

Pros: performance improvement, balanced, comfort

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.

Cons: broke top stud
