Now that I’m thinkgonna Ng about it, maybe it wasn’t Konis, but some other brand. Hmm....
Interesting. I remember driving Nick's and JST's M3s when they were relatively fresh, but I don't remember that. I'm also curious to know why there are still some folks out there who insist that the OE parts are the best choice for this car. If I hadn't gone with coilovers, I would probably have gone with Konis and maybe Eibachs.

I continue to be impressed by the new suspension on my car. Even crappy roads feel better. It'll have around 40-50 miles on it by the time I get home tomorrow morning, which I think is enough to check the alignment and see if it's settled at all since installation.
