I had a set on these for 7 months on my 2010 VW CC before I switched over to BMW and LOVED them. OEM comfort and low sporty look. I need some coilovers for my current '11 328i and ordered these from AMI Motorsports but have not received them yet. I am dying to try them out now on BMW.

I can definitely vouch for these for anyone looking to just lower your ride and want a nice comfortable ride. I never tracked the car or anything.

I've had them on my e92 for about 3 months with no bottoming out issues unless I slam the ride height. When raised to within their specs for front/rear no bottoming out issues. Ride comfort is damn good for the price, only down side is dampening is not adjustable.

I wasn't too impressed by them. They feel OEMish but then have a horrible bounce if your on the freeway doing 70+ and hit any imperfections or wavy type roads. At SoCal euro they were selling them for $500 a set.

I'm weighing the option of these vs. the Koni Str.t with lowering springs. I have the sport package but at 100k miles I want to refresh with something a little stiffer and lower. I doubt I'll ever adjust the height.

I am in the same boat here. Likely going to be ordering these or the koni str.t's paired with h&r sports. If anyone else has experience with these or could provide some more long term analysis that would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Had these for over a year now and still working well. High speed bounce issue noted above was solved with front m3 control arms and subframe bushing inserts for me.

Are str.t konis compatible with xdrive? I've found conflicting information on a couple different vendor sites.

Thanks!

^ You'd need to find Xdrive specific fronts for the str.t. the rears are the same whether you're awd or rwd.
