Thanks for the replies. She seems to handle reasonably well, but I may have to replace the rear springs at her next service so really just thinking about possible options/upgrades to the whole suspension.

The Indie told me that the standard Bilstein units are pretty good and that unless I'm tracking her I wouldn't notice any real improvements with coil overs. Any comments on that statement?

There's some discussion of the benefits of coilovers for road use in this thread:

ETA: I think they're perfect for road use.

Thanks Bill. I remember reading a thread that had a nice upgrade list, but could I find it!

I was under the impression that E36 rear arches aren't really strong enough to take full suspension loads, let alone the top mounts.
