I am having a hard time deciding on a suspension for the BMW, but I will state the obvious first.  Yes, I am going with coilovers.  Yes, they will be stiff.  And Yes I am getting camber plates.  So the question I still have is what dampener to go with? The AST 4100 which is a single adjustable monotube, or the koni double adjustable.  The price is very similar (with the Vorshlag test pilot discount), so don't even consider the price difference.  Streetability is NOT a concern for me, if its too stiff I'll just get over it.  I am hoping to get some responses from people who have actually used at least one or are very familiar with these products. 

 

Here are the links

Note both kits come with camber plates, I will NOT use the GC camber plates I am set on using Vorshlag's plates

Well you know where I stand, vorshlag is awesome.  You wonlt believe how much grip those shocks with dunlops or bstones will give you. 

I will say, if there's any way you can save to get the DA 4200's you'll never want another shock or revale.  

I have used koni yellows, good for the price, but the rebound adjuster wasn't linear (as i've heard with da's) and I found close to useless.  I also couldn't get tothe rears.

good luck, post up your decision and don't forget the cornerbalancing!

I'm in Pacific time...it's not even 1 yet! 

 Haven't heard of TCkline, you'll have to feel out the bmw community, but I do know a lot of BMW guys at the TOP with vorshlag(and moton, but who can afford uranium-gold alloy plated shocks?)

thanks for the info Rob, 4200's are way out of my price range.  But used suspension stuff for BMW's go for top dollar, so I wouldn't loose big if I upgraded later.  It seems like every one is shooing me away from the koni's I guess AST's are that good.
