Thanks for the reply. While I love the idea of matched components and saving a few bucks when purchasing in kit form, for me there's still a preference for the lesser 10mm drop of the BMWP springs compared to the 30mm drop of the Eibachs. New England roads can be bad enough, and in my job as a realtor I often encounter steep driveways, multiple speed bumps in condo complexes, and sometimes even dirt roads (I switch vehicles with my wife on days I need to carry clients!). My first thought was to stay on stock springs but the BMWP's give 34% more spring rate, with the minimal drop.

I don't see too many places carrying the B12 kit yet here in the U.S. but I'm sure that will change soon.
