SUSPENSION UPGRADE FOR e30 320/325

Hello Forum....I am looking to upgrade my suspension. I need good advice on a whole package......springs, shocks, ARB's.

Would a Bilstein 7511 kit do the trick? Eibach ARB kit? Please point me in the right direction.
Thanks, Anders.

UPGRADING SUSPENSION:

Hello guys/gals......I am upgrading my suspension to full m-tech.
What is the difference between B4 dampers and B8 dampers (bilstein)

Anybody got a good deal on mtech ARBԚ´s ,...both front and rear?
Are EibachԚ´s just as good...better?

Hey kramer...I have been thinking, what you have been thinking for a long time. Those rounded fronts....looks like an Opel/VW...or something

They should re-introduce the over-bite...they could make it look real good.
