I want to go with these. I'd like to hear any opinions on them for anyone that has them. Pictures would be great too. |

I am interested in these as well. the alternative for me is to spend the extra $1000+ and get Kw v2's. But do I really need to spend the extra money to upgrade the suspension of a spirited daily driver?

I know from experience that the H&R touring setup for the Merc 190e's were god awful and super stiff. Really bumpy as well. I can't say much about the e90 setup but it is a pretty good value. I would also consider Koni's and SWIFT. It is more expensive but not as expensive as KW V2s or anything.

I had it on my old E90. I think I put them on somewhere around 20-30k miles and they were still running fine when I sold my car at 93k miles. Right before I sold the car I had my buddy do a full inspection and he whole suspension system was still in great condition.
now the pros and cons Pros Touring cup will give you a nice drop and it will look awesome with a set of 18s. Car will pretty much turn on a dime Cons: You won't be able to drive up some more elevated driveways without scraping. Ride is a bit harsh especially over ruff road surfaces. Because the car is low some shops might not be able to work on it. Although this was never a problem in my area. I did need a set of low-profile jacks to raise my car when doing oil changes. In short I liked it for the look and for how well the car handled but it was too much of a headache so I would not go with this option again. Oh and last December I drove the Barkley Center in Brooklyn and let me tell you driving on NYC roads with this suspension felt like cruising around the streets of Mogadishu. I swear my ass was never the same again. Last edited by Delta0311; 09-16-2013 at 12:32 PM.. |
