another question, is it direct bolt the front M3 coilovers (KW or BILSTEIN) on the 335i?
On the top I will use the M3 camber plate, so it will be fine but down will it fit the wheel carrier?

Will the springs of KW V3 M3 coilover be too stiff for 335i E93?

My plan is to use coilover kit for M3 on E93 335i

Only when you are doing the M3 rear lower link conversion you will need to M3 style rear dampers.

The M3 front strut will not work on the 335i, you will still need the 335 front strut.

So M3 front strut will not fit on the 335i wheel carrier? even with slight modifications?

If I do a M3 rear camber link i will need a mixed coilover kit: 335i front; M3 rear?

No, M3 struts will not fit at all.

Yes, you will need 335 front and M3 rears.

Very little noise. I have since switched from the race single row bearing to the double row bearing, and haven't heard any noise at all.

At the rear is it possible only to swap to the M3 camber link ?(where the spring goes)

Or are needed all the other M3 tension rood ?

Yes, you can, but you will also need M3 rear dampers.

No, not yet.

Koni DA's have been on a national back order for sometime now. For those waiting for the Koni DA's they should be arriving sometime in March, just in time to install them along with all the M3 bits you have been collecting over the winter!

I have a direct question , I have complete front and rear suspension from E92 M3 available , I mean everything . Will that bolt on directly to chassi?

I did a quick search in OEM parts , and looked at the whole chassi part from M3 and 335i
Parts numver are different. But what mounting spots on M3 chassi are different from chassi on 335i?

Basic possible changes should be : Engine , gearbox , subframe front and rear.

Yes, everything will bolt up with the exception of the rear toe links.

harold, quick question on the konis - do you have to compress the rear shocks when you adjust for rebound setting? Do you need a special tool? Is this the same for the fronts?

Also those adjusters that you sell, will they work on the fronts and rears? How much? Thanks.

Yes, on the standard Koni rear dampers for the 135/335. No special tools for this process.

The front is easier with a tool supplied by Koni and right through the top of the strut.

Koni will be releasing an external adjustable rear damper for the 135/335 that you can adjust from the top without taking the damper out of the car very soon!
