Easy DIY low-cost suspension mods?

ThatRWD · 11-17-2014, 09:09 AM

Hey guys, I've got Rino ramps with two jackstands and two manual car jacks, I was looking to do some quick, easy and cheap suspension mods on my E92 335i.

Currently it has Michellen PSS and KW V3 coilovers, it's slightly lowered, and I hate the rear bounce, and how un-planted it feels during turns.

I'm comfertable doing oil changes, and changing brakes thus far. Will be doing rear and front brakes soon anyway. Changing the coilovers or modifying that area of things doesn't seem too hard or time consuming.

Whiteline rear subframe inserts
Dinan rear upper strut mount

nothing is cheap and easy when it comes to suspension mod on this car. a stiff front sway bar is probably the easiest mod you can do. i would not attempt lowering the rear subframe if the only thing you got are two jackstands and two jacks.

+1 re the Whiteline inserts - inexpensive and very effective at improving the rear subframe gyrations. Having installed these myself you should have the tols you need - but remember to chock your front wheels!
