Iv had the UUC sway bars an racing dynamic, imo they both felt the same.. I daily drive my e36 an they feel great..

I've heard good things about the H&R race springs and UUC sway bars and Mason Engineering strut bars.

I had the DDM Tuning springs prior to installing ST coilovers and they were alright. I have stock sway bars right now but planning to get UUC front/rear within the next few months.

How about Eibach sways? Also what springs should i get h&r sports or pro-kits? Heard the h&r race is too stiff of a ride. I got kids and need the car to have some comfort.

I have H&R sports an it drives great.. but the race springs give it a really nice drop.. an stiffer sharper handling...

I've got Eibach sway bars. I don't know how they compare to the other brands, but they are massive. They feel stiffer than the OE ones, but then again, could be a placebo effect. I also have H&R Sport springs. This gave me about a 1 inch drop. I really like the stance since doing that (one of my first mods; a few years ago). I also replaced my control arm and trailing arm suspension bushings with Powerflex urethane bushings and my engine mount and transmission mounts with UUC "black" urethane ones. All of these mods have provided some degree of suspension tightness which is nice, but honestly, mostly for "bragging rights". Modding an "oldy" like an e36 is fun and a nice hobby, but if you are really looking for a performance upgrade, save up for a Porche or GTR or a newer model BMW. That's just what I learned through my own Project M3 Modification Odyssey. In the end, you invest 10-20 grand on drssing up '95. It sure looks great and drives a Hell of a lot better than when you started modding it, but at the end of the day, it's still an old car and you could have had 20% down for a brand new R35 GTR instead. Do what makes you happy though. That's really what it's all about. I just wanted to share with you my perspective.

Thanks for your 2cents but the reason i dont get a new bmw or etc is cuz tired of paying car payments besides i really enjoy the older cars drive and they are becoming more rare. As far as springs i just got some eibach prokit since i found a brand new set on craigslist for 150. Eibach told me the spring rates on the 95 are 120 front and 428 rears and i dont know how accurate that is. My driving impression is really good even though they seemed MAYBE softer than oem springs. I noticed there is less understeer for sure and the drop is perfect for me couldnt imagine going lower. Steering feel seems lighter than my factory springs for some reason it also drives very smooth. I am going to wait about 2 weeks to let them settle before i align the car then would like to see how it will handle. Next upgrade on my list is sway...stay posted.
