^^what they said. I haven't been on the forum or owned my BMW for a long time but I religiously read posts on here. I couldn't read half of these posts due to all of the bashing. OP told everyone that they were cheap and was just going to review and if they sucked, then they would come off. People need to chill the F out. It's the OP's car and choice what is put on HIS car. Sure many of you have and make the money to buy the nicer and top of the line parts. Some of us do not. Please don't trash someone because they didn't choose the most expensive parts. I hope they work out for you.
And yes all of you go ahead and post..."you shouldn't have bought and expensive car if you can't afford it". Just know its ignored every time End of my rant. OP good luck with the parts. |

Name calling and douchbaggery aside, I'm skeptical of $350 coilovers as well. But hell, anything's possible, right?
These are not made in Germany. Period. Don't forget to include the price of installation, alignment and corner-balancing when calculating the cost of coilovers. In the case of cheap ones, count those costs twice: once when you install them, and once when you replace them because they've failed. |

I can pick out things wrong on other peoples car and flame them for it, but i dont. why? because i mod my own car not others. If someone wants to put ebay angel eyes, i say go for it. so many people are pleased with them, same goes for ebay bumpers/spoilers. yes more expensive options will be better but not everyone want to spend that money. wait but this is suspension, one of the most important part of the car...you mad? NO solid reviews on e90post, but seems like everyone has had these once before telling me they suck. you can bicker all you want but if you put over 5k into your suspension and wheels, you could have gotten a better car. would it be better if i bought a 335i for 10-15 grand and put 10k on the stance and be legendary? YOU PUT 350 DOLLAR COILS ON YOUR BMW? you must be broke. LOL e90post logic is too funny. I know what can go wrong, but again its not an investment that going to break the bank. i can put ohlin, ast, or kw and put reps and still be flamed. Then there are people with cheap suspension but with nice rims get complements. |

So funny today came into work and one of the clean up kids at my dealership just bought these for his 96 golf and brought them in. They look and feel like garbage but that's what these kids do these days with there $500-$1000 cars. Not the best idea IMO
It's not that there its that there it could potentially be very dangerous. Hopefully everything works out abs is fine for OP I mean that in all seriousness |

OP I agree that a $350 suspension is cheap but for once I have to side with project335i. I went your route once with cheap suspension, TA Technix was the brand of coils i bought and it was like $400 shipped to me. Boy was I in for some action. After install everything was great until I drove it for about 2 months, then the problems started. First there was some weird squeaking noise coming from my rear shocks, didnt bother me as much but had me worried. Then before I knew it the shock had snapped on the bottom of my rear mount where it sits. Luckily it snapped when I was almost home so I was able to take it off and put on my stock shocks. After all this, I decided I needed to up my suspension and go with a reputable brand, no problems since.

Ill def put a better set on when these go bad or have a bad experience. They do have a two year warranty, so i can always replace it if they do blow and ill put stocks back in. Im installing myself so all im paying for is an alignment. May need to buy a low floor jack. |

No offense man but let's use some logic why you're getting judges so harshly.
1.) These aren't a cosmetic mod where if you go cheap to try something there really isn't any harm 2.) You say its your car and you can do what you want, obviously you're right. But you live in ny, what happens if you hit a pothole at 65mph, blow a shock and take out someone because of these low quality shocks, and no offense they are low quality at that price point, its not speculation its fact. 3.) You say its only 350 but unless you are doing everything yourself its gonna cost you 500 more for install and alignment. Edit: just saw you are installing yourself. 4.) More than likely you're going to slam the car and I'm guessing you couldnt find a $45 camber kit so you're skipping those. You are going to eat through tires like crazy and there goes another unsafe aspect. Sorry man, I'm not judging , actually I am but if you can't see why people are being harsh to you then oh well. And about being able to afford asts or some higher quality coils. It's like if you were in hs again and passing up a date with a hot girl with a good personality because you want to give the annoying ugly girl a chance because she might eventually become good looking one day. If you can date the hot girl, why wouldnt you? Last edited by pits200; 02-15-2013 at 09:58 AM.. |

Not trying to argue here, but his post stated he got el cheapo ones and then traded up after it crapped out. He didn't state what the new ones were. Thanks for trying though.
