In the aftermarket, I'd be looking at something like KW at the very least, in terms of quality. Even if it means I can only afford to do KWs, tires on the stick rims, and basic brake upgrades with homemade ducting, and stripped interior.

At Atlanta Region SCCA Solo, theres a guy with an E36 (don't remember if its an M or not) that's really fast. His Motons are supposedly about 2/3 the money put into the car.
Sorry, I was referring to Ohlins Suspension. I haven't seen the top of the line Moton 4 way c/o'ers have 16 clicks for rebound and comp and I believe are piston and shim type shocks.

Ohlins TTX which has 40 low speed and 50 clicks for high speed for both rebound and comp and is $$$ just like the Moton. The problem is that they don't have too many applications for autos.
