What suspension are you using?

imske3000 · 07-07-2014, 07:25 PM

I am looking into suspension and have been looking at a few varying coilover options, its for mainly a daily driver. Has anyone had experience with the following...

KW V2
KW Street Comfort
BC Racing ER
HPA Koni TCKR Coilover Kit

Or if you have some other setup you like please let me know.

Cheers.

My daily,
Koni Sports
Stock springs
E92 FSB
M3 rear sub bushings/control arms
this negates the need for coil overs for daily driving IMO unless you want to lower ride height.

Bilstein clubsport coilovers.

I want to lower it a little bit.

How much were all those bits?

BC ER

Drive it daily, totally transformed the car

Wrniknbl · 07-08-2014, 04:40 AM

KWV3
Megan Racing adjustable rear arms
Vorshlag Camber Plates
M3 everything else including sways

Would go for a slightly thinner rear sway if you don't go lsd

Ohlins Road and Track for me. M3 everything + Quaife.

I've looked at BC's but a member here had them fail and scratched the roof of his car.

KW DDC highly recommend

I had the BC ER's on for 80K and have been totally faultless

BC BR, E92 FSB, TRW control arms.. need the rear sorted out

bought the coilovers a little used (tracked i think) - one has a noise but they all work perfectly.

you don't get the control arms just because they add camber, but because the bushings are better, they're lighter, stiffer, stronger etc.

and the BC's are all pillowball, so no need to buy extra camber plates.
