    Lowering Spring or Coilovers

    Hi,

    I'm after getting an e36 SE, I'm wondering what is the best setup for it to lower it and stiffen up the ride a bit?

    It looks like a 4x4 at the moment and handles like one too

    Is the eibach pro kit solely for looks?

    If I'm getting coilovers I'd probably go HSD but I'm wondering if its actually worth the expense. Had the HSD's on an e46 before and really liked them. But if an eibach pro kit will get me almost all of the way there I'll be quite happy.

    Thanks for the advice.

    To be perfectly honest, I'm looking for Msport suspension set up, just enough not to feel like I'm piloting a ship around bends, while I don't like my ride height its corning that is making me want to change

    Will a pro kit affect tire wear camber etc? I've read that and hence why I was considering going back the HSDs.
