Correct me if I'm wrong. From what I've read In this thread. Getting new longer end links will allow the front end to sit lower?

Vuthy, in my experience with my adjustable end links was I was able to lower the car aired out the
Same amount. It’s being able to set them at ride height without pre load. Even the ones that came with the airlift kit aren’t long enough. I have to order custom length |

Hey everyone read this thread a few times over trying to pick up tips and stuff , i have just installed a airtekk bag over coil kit on my BC BR coils. The rears are great , tuck a ton and can go further but dont really want to , but the front is about an inch away from tucking the front and i dont know why , coilover is wound all the way down.
Also my front wheel looks like its going to rub on the bags on any sudden bumps , the wheels are 19x9 ET 20 with 215/35's. Pic will be included, really need help. |

So I finally installed my adjustable links and put it the length of 295mm. In the comparison pic down at the bottom. It did allow me to air out about another inch lower. I'm assuming another 10mm or more could bring me down even more to allow the front wheels to tuck. My question for all you guys with bags and adjustable end links. Did you guys turn the coils up higher to accommodate the longer endlinks? Or left it the same? Now when I really step on the gas in the car. My car wants to pull to the right a little bit. But it's never done that before.

I've read through a lot of this thread (not all 22 pages, sorry). I have an E90 that is on Ksport coilovers that is as low as I would like (for a sports sedan). I'm tucking about 5mm of tire in the front and about 10mm of tire in the rear (still above wheels).
The ride is very firm (not adjustable on Ksports) and is on the border of comfortable for a mostly street car. I've been interested in an air setup because of how everyone says it rides so smooth/comfortably. Then I read a few reviews on E90's of people saying it's stiff an bouncy. What should I expect and how do you get a soft/comfortable ride while being low (not ultra low)? On top of that, I have a sloped driveway and I scrape my front lip every time I go in and out and it would be nice to have a setting to pop the front up 0.5"-1.0" to clear when I come and go. PFA: |

Air Suspension For E90
Looking to get a full air kit for my 2011 328i. I was going to get Airtekk stage 2 or 3, but everyone keeps saying I should stick with Airlift. Does anyone have experience with Airtekk?

I have a 2007 BMW 328xi on Airlift Performance suspension. As others in this thread have noted, I had to extend my front sway bar end links to get the car lower to the ground when aired out, but now I'm having an issue where my end links are bending, because they make contact with the hub assembly at full wheel lock in either direction. I've had this issue with both the Airlift end links, and Whiteline end links. Has anybody else run into this, and if so, how did you solve it? The picture attached shows the front left suspension at full wheel lock, and you can see where the hub assembly contacts the end link.

"Yes, we've seen this before and it's a very limited problem associated with only a couple models for a couple years, therefore there was never a separate change made to the kits to accommodate for it. The end link tab should be pointed almost straight in towards the center of the vehicle, but the alignment tab is in a different position. The fix is to cut off the alignment tab from the lower mount and position the end link tab where it should be. They can use their OEM suspension as a reference and draw a mark on the lower mount to help them align it." Kinda disappointed, especially considering the price of the kit and the otherwise great quality from Airlift, and the fact that there is no disclaimer or anything on their website for my specific E90. |

Hey guys, new to the forum. I got the car about a year ago and bagged it a couple of weeks ago. I also have some AG M590s on the way that will get powder coated black, and then in to the shop for some big power upgrades.
