patrickbw1 · 09-09-2013, 08:03 PM

Just Ordered A Set Of St Coilovers. My Car Has 52k Miles 2009 E92 Coupe. While I Have The Suspension Broken Down For Installment What Other Maintenance Items Should I Replace?

Thanks Patrick

yomny · 09-09-2013, 08:32 PM

post some pics up when you get them, these are the coilovers i have in mind when i comes to upgrading my suspension.

Not too much to maintain while your in there unless your bushings are worn out.

We are running a promo on these BTW. PM for coupon code.

You will likely need longer sway bar end links but you might not know just how long until the new ride height is set. Here is mine with ST's installed, I had factory sport suspension that the ST's replaced.

patrickbw1 · 09-10-2013, 08:10 AM

I planned on going the lowest setting with 19" aggressive wheels.

Then you will be much lower than I. I've got quite a bit of drop left if needed. However, as it sits, I just barely scrape going/coming from my garage (drive is a steep angle) so any lower and I couldn't park in the garage

. Yours will look good tucked.

Here is a quick pic. Wheels will be here Friday. These are St-1 coilovers. Not completely slammed yet.

Ordered Varrstoen ES1
19x9.5 +20 with Conti DWS 225/35/19s
19x11 +25 with Conti DWS 265/30/19s

idrift4wd · 09-16-2013, 05:57 PM

hows the ride as it sits?

patrickbw1 · 09-16-2013, 06:24 PM

I have only driven it home from shop. Felt good, no rubbing. I am happy. My bilstein's pss9 felt better on my e46, but they were twice the price. I will update after a few days of driving.

XstheticMotorsports · 09-17-2013, 04:23 PM

Looks good! Looking forward for the finish picture with the wheels.

yomny · 09-17-2013, 04:44 PM

Got any more driving experience, looks pretty slammed, how does it feel that low?

Denny347 · 09-17-2013, 08:01 PM

NICE!!!!

patrickbw1 · 09-17-2013, 09:38 PM

Ok, it drives really good for being so low. It bounces a little. I am very happy with them for the money. In the past I had a 335i with H&R springs with stock shocks on 20" rims and it rode horrible.

Denny347 · 09-18-2013, 08:06 AM

I'd go lower but I would not be able to get up my drive and into the garage...damn that looks good.

aus · 09-18-2013, 09:23 AM

Is it at it's highest setting in you pics?
Looks good, but not sure I want it any lower that stock sport height.
Thanks.

Thanks.

Me? No, it's about half way. I could keep it at stock sport suspension height if I wanted.

You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."
