I'm very happy with them. The ride quality is good as well.

Hope this helps.

Looks perfect ! Any spacers mounted here ?

Did you decide and install one or the other? I'm making the same decision. I have a vender who sells both highly recomending the Swifts because they don't ride the bump stops but I don't have EDC so I'm concerned about the ride being to rough on the road. People's responses here on the Eibachs is better... and I think it would be even better with E36 bump stops.

Dinan offers a top mount kit that goes well with any lowering springs. Unfortunately it’s expensive for what it is.
