Quick Help w/ Suspension on 335is

tmaung · 07-12-2012, 09:00 AM

I am looking into HKS Hipermax coilovers but I am wondering if I am overdoing it. I will be using the car mainly for DD w/ a couple of AutoX and I will try out the track for the first time this year. So my question is, should I go with the coils or just get the BMW Performance Springs and M3 suspension upgrades (for the front only at this time)? Thanks in advance!

I'd leave it stock until you have some time in the car and then you will know what you should improve and why rather than just throwing parts at it.

I forgot to mention that I am seriously annoyed by the gap in the front. I am not trying to go extreme track use. I can purchase those two packages for about the same price so I am not spending 2k+ on the hks. What do you all think in the long run. HKS Coils vs Performance Springs + stock struts + m3 front suspension kit. Thanks again!

I have not had experience with the HKS coils, but either ST's with M3 arms or BMW Performance with M3 arms

Thanks to both of you. I am going to hold off a little longer and see what I really need before purchasing.
