2007 E92 335I Suspension need advice?

manari06 · 04-09-2011, 03:55 PM

OK so I want to replace the bushings on my E92 W/Sports Suspension but now after talking to the wife and having her approval, I want to upgrade my Suspension so I need to know what's the best set up if I'm not tracking the car? I want to get the best feel and handling possible but I also want it to feel comfortable and smooth. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Willing to spend no more than $2500.

Well you certainly have a lot of options for that kind of budget. What exactly are your goals here? Lowered ride height? more steering feel? better dampening? Adjustability? If you are just looking for non track use, I say change your tires if you are on stock runflats.

Sorry forgot that detail, I replaced the factory wheels with 19x8.5 front and 19x9 rear Miro type 111 and tire package. I want to lower the the ride but i don't want to slam it. I want an overall better handling and response, I'm not looking at coilovers because I don't want a the bouncing effect that comes with it. I see a lot of guys here go with the Koni yellow and lowering springs, I'm also replacing the swaybars and contol arms on the car I want a total suspension upgrade. What do you recommend?

Good luck with your upgrade.

As for recommendations, I say never "ask your wife" for permission to do anything. After 10 years of marriage, I have yet to do that.

Thanks, is not about just asking permission is that if I need to spent a bit more on the upgrade i won't have to explain my self.

I'd consider Koni FSDs to have the car both comfortable and handling well.

My wife always asks me first before she upgrades the suspension. Has been working well for 20 years.

Thanks, I'm looking at the Eibach PRO-SYSTEM-PLUS , but I'll look at the Koni also I want the ride to be comfortable and not bounce like a low rider!
