I have been trying the rear swift springs (672 lbs) and stock (Olhins) in the front and it doesn't feel right. It's out of balance for sure. I'm not 100% I want to keep these coilovers. Unfortunately I am having several other issues with the car that are taking priority.

It will help the steering feel a lot.

I had 700lbs Ohlins springs and think it isn't needed at all, gone back to the 400!

You have to know that it's still a street kit, Clubsports have about double the springrate and matched dampers, different purpose.
I just changed from 7 clicks from full firm all around to 5 all around, then to 4 in rear with 5 in front. Perfection for me :-).

Nice to hear,
this kit really lives from the shocks!

Bought Ohlins R&T this week. Excited to get them on!

Anyone put them on an E92 335D?

How are everyones Ohlins wearing? There were very comfortable the first couple months, but seem like they wear fast. Its seems like every couple months I need to move a click further toward hard(in the front). I am currently at 3 clicks from full hard. Anything less, the car is uncomfortable and there is too much extra movement after a bump. I have about 2 years on these, but only about ~10k miles. They have been only drive on the street, though our township has only fixed the pavements around here during the last year.

I am running 392 swift in the front and 672 swift in the back(but the back are tckline sa shocks and they seem fine event though they've been on the car longer).

I need a different solution soon. I am considering different shocks, a different vehicle entirely(I do a lot of mountain biking with my dog. Still stringing along a 2001 nissan xterra, tough to find a do it call car), or simply trying just having re-valving performed.
