Bilstein, Koni, AST????

Ass we all know the way BMW setup the M Coupe the springs are too soft with the rebound on the stock shocks too stiff which helps create a rougher ride.
I am going to replace the stock springs and perches with something else and run around a 650/700 rate springs. Does anyone have any shock specs they could help me with to solve the damper problem. The 650/700 rates will blow the stock dampers rather quickly.
I prefer Bilstein's because I used them on my E30 M3. I was running 500/650 on that with groupe N valving. The ride was perfect.

Look into TCKracing for their Koni lineup, as well as KW Dampers, as they are IMO one of the better dampers at low-speed compression
