I was focused on B12s + eibach pro kit but after spending some time on zroadster.net and zpost I am certain no more.
Users complain about B12 quality. After 1-2 years and 20-30k miles the leak occurs on front shock absorbers. it is not just one case. there is whole site on zroadster.net on this topic.
I need to replace both springs and shock absorbers front and rear. I think I will take Eibach pro kit I am sure about this. Let's talk about STRUTS.
So, B12 kit (B8s + eibach pro kit) apparently fails after 20-30 miles and 2 years. I cannot afford that kind of wasting my money.
My point is, to get Eibach pro kit and new Sachs struts front and rear OR Bilstein B4s front and rear.
Thing is I have read that it is a bad idea to couple Eibach with standard OEM struts.
I cannot find Sachs struts for M Sport Suspension. Won't it be a downgrade since then?
What replacement do you suggest for OEM Struts?
 
I have Bilstein B4's and eibach springs fitted currently and the ride is fine. I'm not trying to pretend I'm a formula 1 driver, so for my needs this setup is perfectly adequate.

There is a load of absolute rubbish on the internet, mostly from people who think they're trying to beat some weird record times for public road blasts.

If you're not tracking your car, a normal set up will suit you without issue.
 
I've not really heard all that much bad about Bilsteins + Eibachs, and I'd be surprised if a damper from a manufacturer such as that has dampers failing after that distance.

I can't actually recall, but OE might actually be Sachs... Or Boge...
