E36 Suspension Upgrade
I am thinking about a "suspension upgrade" for my E36.
So guys could you be kind enough to share your E36 suspension experiences. I have a choice b/w Bilstein B8+ Eibach Pro Kit vs Bilstein B12 Kit ( which consists of Bilstein B8+ H&R Springs). Thanks. PS I hv a 1995 325i on 16inch |

Any suspension with over 80k on it could stand to have most of the components replaced. Just replacing the suspension with new OEM will make a big difference but that is also the perfect time to upgrade.
All the name brand kits will work well but deciding which one is just a matter of preference. Unless you can drive one a few days on your favorite roads theres really no way to know which one the get. I suggest reading the descriptions and the amount of lowering and if you are torn between two, pick the softer one. Another option is a used M3 suspension but you have to replace the whole thing some of the parts aren't interchangeable.
