Anyone running Bilsteins on their e-23? I've heard the hot set up is Sports on the front and Comforts on the rear. True? I already have comforts on the rear from my self leveling delete a little over a year ago, but will upgrade if necessary (fronts are original). Current rim size is 17" and I'm planning on installing a set of H&R sport springs at the same time as the shocks (so maybe I have to go with the Sports?). Ideally, I'd like the car to ride and handle like a stock M6.
Thanks...

I have a set of new/old stock Konis for the 745i rear if you want them cheap;only $125 for the pair.E-mail me.
These will be adjustable to anything from equal to Bilstein HDs and far stiffer.
Also,I'm an H&R discount dealer.You don't need to use "sport" shocks,nor would I suggest them with the H&Rs.Way too stiff a ride,and not necessary.
