Anyone any experience with these?
The Sachs Super Touring (OE) vs Bilstein B4
Now I know its a case of how long is a piece of string but after my little accident last week am so so aware now of the importance of good springs that I bought Eibach 30mm lowering to be sure to be sure 
I don't want to spend hundreds on thhe Bilstein B8 or B12 etc just want to know whats your choice to go with the Eibachs.
Many thanks

B4s are good, just OEM spec just 10% stiffer. Ideal for standard ride height really, best improvement will be that they will be new and not old leaking things.
No idea on the others.
Depends what you want them for though.

Thanks Harry for replying. I only want them for a safe ride. Last week my springs snapped on me and almost caused a bad accident. Don't want them happening again. Both have 5 years guarantee. Both the same price. Just really anted to know if anyone had any experience with both and which they preferred..

I don't know if anyone will be able to compare them from owning both. But bilstein are an extremely good company.
If you aren't looking for anything stiff I'm sure they would provide a nice ride comfort. Personally I would spend more and get the B8s but everyone uses the car for different things so probably isn't worthwhile for a lot of people.
