Coilover question for pre-lci e90 sedan
I have 2 e90 sedans: 06 silver 325i and 07 platinum bronze 328i...
I am looking to do some upgrading. But first let me say this I like 19 and 20 inch rims so if you don't then this is not for you I have read and thoroughly understand your point of view on many forums. I "AM" going to run one of the two. I will never track these so track performance Is not a concern. Comfort and looks with adjustability being a plus. Here's what I need help with: Since I am going to run such an aggressive wheel fit, I want a coilovers that will be sturdy enough to handle it but will not lower the car. Well not too much. I'm not a slammer, but I am a bit of a stancer. Know that I will be doing BBK's front and rear as well. What are your recommdations on coilovers and does anyone have pics. This is more for personalization to make them uniquely mine. (His and Hers). I will save up price wise for whatever works good but no $5k systems. Since they are mainly for comfort and looks, will cheaper coils be sufficient? Looking for informed assistance. Thanks all. |

The TCKline single adjustable coilovers are a forum favorite. They run about $2100. If you're looking for mainly just height adjustability, then you can take a look at the ST coilovers.

Yeah do a quick search. You won't be disappointed with what you find in terms of reviews.

I have a similar interest and have looked into this a bit. I have a Dinan certified car so Dinan is my primary source of information. When looking at their coilovers they told me that many coilovers result in harsh ride quality and suggested just using their spring set that results in about a 1/2" drop. I would carefully review spring rates before deciding on what to buy.
