xdrive suspension purchase decision
Hi all,
2011 e90 6mt AWD 335ix
Tired of the stock suspension, and about to purchase Dinan springs. My question is what shocks?
I have 1 yr old bilstein B4 all around. Should I use re-use these? Are they valved appropriately for Dinan springs?
Go with B8?
Go with koni yellows? If this, should I do the custom Dinan top adjust rears for $300 each (ouch!)?
If the full koni setup, then is the $1300 better spent on Coilovers? I want to keep close to stock ride height. Ok to drop a little, but not much.
Sell the car and get something else that is better sorted (M235ix?)
I know that the adjustability allows for some additional control of the damping rates, but I would most likely set and leave it be. We are either in winter (potholes, snow, etc), or construction season (grooved asphalt, transitions) and I don't plan on taking this to the track.
I'm ok spending the money if the ride in the end is worth it and durable (slight hesitancy towards konis on this). Ideally, anyone in Colorado with any of these setups? Can I ride along and feel how it rides?
Cheers!
