mtech proabably cheaper and you don't want too much drop. I would choose those.
Looking at a couple of spring ideas. What would you chose between these too

As Kriss said the M-Tech will probably be a bit cheaper especially if you can source the parts s/h and it will just drop it slightly and tighten things up just nicely without being too uncomfortable. Make sure to try and get the sway bars as well. Anything more and the ride will noticeably suffer. It just depends on the compromise your prepared to accept.Originally Posted by Ted K

I was told that the M5 springs will actually raise the front of a non-M e34, because the S engine weighs more than the M30.Originally Posted by Ted K

I dont want to make things any higher. Does anyone know the height difference between the two

Any good places where I can find them?
mtech doesnt mean m5 springs
Gone but not forgotten
But you wouldn't put springs designed to hold the weigh of an M3 on a heaiver M5.Originally Posted by Paul in NZ
So in this case M-Tech should = M5.

u can get mtech springs out of a 535i sport...like paul'sOriginally Posted by acyre
The M-tech springs were an option on "Sport" models. They're applicapable to the whole range of E34's, except 530 and 540 according to the ETK.Originally Posted by acyre
M-tech Front Spring: 31 33 2 226 669
M-tech Rear Spring: 33 53 2 226 672 (seems odd, listed under REAR MTECHNIC SPRT SPRING STRUT. Also one listed under regular suspension with "sporty" option -
