I've been doing a bit of research lately before I try to make my car more prepared for STS this season and basic maintenance for daily driving, but I need a little suspension advice. I'm not aiming to win STS in a 95 318i because I'd be running HS if I wanted to try to be truly competitive. I want a simple setup that will help me learn and improve more this year, BUT I must have a car that can truly be my commuter car as well. This car *MIGHT* see one/two track days also.

My car in autoX form currently has an X-brace (must remove for STS) and I'm using 16" OEM Sport wheels with Michelin MXM (switching to Hankooks). What do you guys believe would be my best STS suspension setup for daily driving (25 days per month)?

Eibach Prokit/Koni SA
H&R ___/Bilstein or Koni
Other suggestions, recommendations?

After this season, this car will become solely a daily driver.

Get some 17s with whatever the ultimate ST tire is these days for racing, and some 15s with some cheap cheap tires for daily driving.

This has a couple benefits:

1. you can run a super stiff autox suspension and the 15 inch tires will be nice and soft and make it feel fine for daily driving

2. you can run serious autox alignments and not care so much since you are burning up cheap tires

Based on that last sentence, I would say leave it stock!

But... if you're determined to spend money, I would definitely get Koni SA shocks rather than Bilsteins.

Also, Koni now makes (or resells) sport springs and sells the springs + shocks in a matched kit. I would buy that if I were you.

None of the 'sport' spring offerings are really effective for autox, IMHO.
