so, i went to order Bilsteins and H&R's from bmp, and then i realized how much BMPD charges for shipping (too much imho). i am considering ordering the shocks from bavauto, but i'd rather put the springs on the same order and i dunno about the bavauto springs.
i know people on here are running both, so who's got what and how do you like it?
also, does eibach make a kit? anyone other than H&R and BavAuto? where can i get a fair price on this stuff?
is it worth paying like 80 bucks in shipping to get my first choice?

as far as i know they had a kit you could get with the bilstein shocks and the eibach springs...but i dont know if theyre still available? ...the two kinda went hand in hand.

the free shipping is what initially caught my eye. i;ve also noticed that bavauto usually charges less for products of the same quality, if not the same products. so having looked at tire rack (which i never thought to look at (and wtf? why do they only have koni adj. for the rear?)) bavauto still has the best deals on the billys, but tire rack has more options that i didnt know existed.
i had not considered kyb shocks, i know alot of guys with them on e30s who seem perfectly happy, but at the same time, i feel like i wouldnt like them as much as i would like the bilsteins (which are way more expensive).
input? anyone? should i go with bilsteins and H&Rs or is it worth considering other options.
also, good call on tire rack, i can save 60 bucks on the h&r springs if i get them there.

Turner Motorsports offers the HR springs, and my buddy got them for his car and he loves them. Bav Auto offers Bilstein Sports and they are excellent, I have them on my 323i.
Blisteins > KYB, and have a lifetime warrenty, and HR are similar to Ebiachs...
Both are fine, the optimal spring rate for a non coil over spring is just about what they are.
Incomparison, my Racing Dynamics springs are not stiff as the HRs..
