As an FYI, my car is lowered on VWR (almost twice the drop of driver gear) and has Bilstein B8 shocks as well, no other mods aside from the. I had zero problems with a Hunter drive-on alignment rack, and my tech was able to set the alignment to proper spec w/o issue. Car drives great.

Just go with Bilsteins.
Bilsteins - I have experience with since they were on my 2005 GLI from the factory and I loved how they handled. You could take that car into 45 mph corners at 60 and not a bit of sway or worry.
i've had them on my 3.6 for about a year and a half and 16,000 miles. absolutley nothing wrong with them, just too stiff for minnesota roads
Finally got around to replacing the original worn out shocks. They had 83k miles and 13 years on them! I decided to go with the Bilstein HDs. In my opinion the ride is nearly perfect now. Virtually no bounce or see-sawing when going over speed humps.
Adore the bilstein HD's I have on my accord
My Ram runs stock with 20" wheels and I've converted over to Bilstein 5100 front & rear shocks...
I used Bilsteins on my 97 and they are great.
I also like my W124 on cut springs with sportline spec bilstein shocks more than any close to stock E36 I've ever driven.
Sounds like you would be most happy with Bilstein Comfort/Touring shocks (B4). The Bilstein Sport and HD shocks will provide a much stiffer ride. Having tried the Bilstein HDs, I really didn't care for them at all on my W126. The Bilstein Comfort shocks still improved the handling immensely over the original circa 1987 front shocks on my 560SEL.
