The V1's are only height adjustable. The V2's have adjustable rebound damping. The V3's adjustable compression and rebound damping.

ok... newbie here... (and sorry for the thread jack... someone please buy these V1's!!!)


Will the car have the tendency to 'pogo' if its just dampening and not compression as well? I would think that the cushioning the compression would have a much better effect on ride quality than dampening...

Then again, the V3's are rediculously expensive

there is no pogo effect. i have v1s on my car, and the ride is stiffer than stock (i had non-sport suspension), but not unbearable. i cant compare it to sport suspension as i have never ridden in one.

These coilovers are still for sale. Keep in mind that even though there is no damper adjustment, they will have a more comfortable ride than just springs. Coilovers are basically a matched spring/shock combo with adjustable height .

It's looking like the E90 coilovers will fit on the E92. We are still waiting on 100% confirmation, but we are so confident that they will fit, that if they don't, we will take them back for a full refund, minus the cost of shipping and a 3% transaction fee.
