Help: e34 Lowering Springs and Struts??

[DanDombrowski]

Jeff,

You say that you have the bilsteins, and that they are "firm". Alot of people say that the ride is harsh with the bilsteins, but how would you compare it to a new car?

What I'm getting at is that the car's shocks have 160k on them. Aren't OEMs going to seem firm? Is it better than an old saggy suspension?

I mean, firm **** are better than soft and saggy ones, right?

Hey guys, I need to find some lowering springs and struts quick for my 94 530 as quick as possible. I was going to get Vogtlands, but I heard that they aren't good to use on the V8's. Is this true?? What kind of springs/struts do you guys have on you e34 V8's?? Where did you get them and how much did you pay?? Also post how the ride is with each combination. Some of the roads in NJ are pretty bad, that's why Ineed to know. Any help is greatly appreciated because I need this pretty quickly. I did a search, but mostly everything is for the 6 cylinder models.

so, is bilstein considered to be "old school" now?

That really depends on the taste...
