I'm after some springs to mate with my new bilstein b8's.
I'd ideally like to lower it 60/40 or thereabouts, but it seems that only Spax (and possibly Weitec?) do touring specific springs like this.
I'm looking for as stiff a setup as possible really, and I hear the Spax can be a bit soft.
Does anyone know of any other brands that make a quality set for a touring?
I'm willing to spend a bit above the norm if necessary!
Cheers

I thought this too about Spax Mark, the ones I had on my old Mazda were rock solid, but I keep hearing otherwise about e30 ones.
The H&R are too much dollar but I like the sound of the Eibach cab springs. Is the cab slightly heavier or lighter than the touring at the rear do you know? I take it that'll be a drop of around 30/35, the norm with Eibach isn't it?

I'v got the spax on mine,
there not as "rock" solid as they used to be, but there firm enough, with the gaz shocks and ally top mounts i'v got on,
there far from soft,
i went with a 55/40 drop, only payed... something like 110 for them
good springs

Yeah it's a nice stance it's got, not too high but not too low,
i had that kit on my moordoor that had to be scraped
the tourer came up at the right time, for the right price, and the kit fitted straight on.

I must imagined it then Max have a look at rpm on here in the traders section as they are selling eibach springs.
The best thing about the spax springs though is you can order your own ride height and stiffnes
