Default do you track and/or AutoX? Where do you live? Driving habits?

We can't give recommendations w/out that info at a minimum. The archives have lots of information on this subject, as well.

Default Since the shocks & springs shouldn't deteriorate that much at that mileage, maybe your problem

is control arms and tie rod ends? If you really want it to feel new, I'd replace everything (c/a's, TREs, shocks & springs).

Default I take it you looked at my pic poster? I used Vogtland springs / Koni shocks. My sig pic has my

stock ride height, but there are 3 pics in my poster of it lowered.

I really like the Vogtland/Koni combo. It still doesn't quite handle like an M3, but it is much better than stock, not too low, not too harsh, and very useable for everyday driving.

I dunno mine has 57k on it and I don't think the stock shocks have held up that well.
