E36 325i coupe damper renewal

["Nick Pashley" <NickPashley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

The life of my dampers is coming to an end, the car wallows about on
roundabouts and corners, and wanders on the motorway/expressway/freeway.
The question is, what to I renew them with ?  I am inclined to go for a
sports package, however:
1.    I dont really want to mess about with the looks of the car (I think it
looks great as it is without lowering).
2.    I dont want my brain to come loose every time I hit a bump in the
road.
3.    I might be over-reacting since the damping has deteriorated and it may
be fine with new stock-type dampers.

What have people done in the past ?  Have you been pleased with the results
?  Has anyone fitted the M-tech kit ?  Is it the same as the M3 kit ?  Can I
get the same results with a set of dampers only ?  Is it a harsh ride ?

Dampers easily available to me are Sachs-Boge and Bilstein.

Also, how so these dampers fit ?  Do the fronts come as a complete strut or
do you dismantle the current strusts and replace a cartridge ?

Thanks in advance
