Have A Quick And Important Question
Just ordered some st coilovers from ltmw for my e90 335i with the sport package and was wondering if that's a smart choice? Would it improve the handling of the car or would it be the same feel as having the sport package? Or if I should just buy better coilovers please respond ASAP as these orders are pending
Or any suggestions are welcomed |

Are there "better" coils on the market? Yes. Do STs suck? No. Will your car handle much better and look much better with the STs? Yes.

Ive rode on ST's for over a year and absolutely loved them! i do hear that if your up north they have a better chance of rusting but as far as ride quality i thought they were amazing especially for the price

Its up to you, pretty much any coilover will "handle" better then stock sport suspension. less of a shock rebound(less body roll) and can set it lower for a lower center of gravity. But with all coilovers, it will be stiffer then stock suspension but its worth it for many. Some people really like the ride of coils, but surely shock and spring set-up will ride softer and last longer. dont cancel your order! you'll be happy! |

No i didnt have sport pkg when i had them on my 328 coupe and it handled alot better. i just sold it for a 335 and i still have the coils. I like them enough that i will probably throw them on my new car.
