Yes another suspension question. What i really want to know is whether or not it is worth springing the extra money for the Bilstein HD's instead of the Boge. I want to stay close to original ride quality, but would like to improve my handling. So Bilstein HD or Boge? I dont have money to get new springs either so i dont want sport shocks. __________________ 1993 325is Hellrot

Definitely worth the small difference in price. If you're really interested email me at philip@vitessetuning.com for a quote. Cheers, __________________
