Sports ride stiffer. I have brand new HDs on my latest E36 325is and they are a lot softer than the Sports that were on my 332. If I were going to buy a shock/spring combo in the future, I would go with Konis. Or, if you're not set on a shock/spring combo, go with DDM coilovers for 700 bucks.

So whats the word on these DDM Coilovers? For $750 they are an absolute steal.

I just got the tracking number. Will be in soon. I'll see how they hold on the road course and at drift events. I got a lot of stuff to put on during the winter for my M3.

another vote here for Koni Yellows. I had those with a set of matched Whiteline springs on my 240sx and loved the setup. It was track tuned, but still very compliant and streetable. I would do it all over again.
