[s-cars] Spring time

[LL - NY]

I don't know how the valving of the Koni's would compare to Bilstein sports,

but I have found that there is an excellent match between Bilstein Sports
and
the Eibach kit springs. VERY well controlled, yet comfortable (for NY's
finest pavement). Nice reasonably responsive for spirited street driving.
You will need to buy the spacer (I did this through www.shox.com) to keep
the car level, however.

Unfortunately, I have no idea how to compare damping rates of Koni vs.
Bilstein.

IF you intend to track the car, I believe you will find the Eibachs will not
be your best bet, however. You'd probably be better off with the H&R S6+ for
that purpose. The Eibachs would be a little to soft for track purposes at
least IMHO.
