    Default Sachs Sporting vs M Technik Springs / bilsteins

    How do these setups vary? I was thinking Sachs will be a bit stiffer and lower than M Technik, and that M -tech Springs are more forgiving.

    I have a 1990 535i, and at 140k the wear in my suspension components is starting to show. I have stock wheels now but in the future will have a genuine set of M-Parellel's.. What setup should i go for???

    Please Mark your choice on the poll
    Thanks Guys
