    Keep twiddling - everybody is entitled to an opinion.

    Konis are more highly regarded in the E34 M5 community and elsewhere. I'll suffer through another R&R cycle for the better compression damping and rebound adjustments - not gladly, mind you.

    I too am enjoying the Bilsteins. They ride well with the Eibach Pro Kit springs, fixed camber plates & RD anti-sway bars.
