335is Suspension Complete Overhaul - What are your thoughts?
I am looking to transform the handling of my 335is now that power mods are pretty much done. Given the cost of the the components below, I seriously considered just trading my baby in for a M car, but I really couldn't justify it.
My car has 27k miles on it and I foresee a long life ahead so I don't want to skimp out on anything. A couple of questions: 1) Will the parts below get me to 90% or better of the "M" car experience? Or maybe perhaps even exceed it? 2) Am I missing anything below? Front: Front Control Arm & Tension Strut w/headlight leveling sensor rod M3 Strut Bar M3 Front Sway Bar Vorshlag Camber Plates Ohlins R&T Swift Spec R Springs - 400 front / 700 rear Rear: Rear Aluminum Subframe Bushings Rear Toe Arms (HPA) Rear Guide Rods Rear Upper Link (Wishbone) M3 Rear Sway Bar OS Giken Superlock LSD Thank you!

It will be a very solid build. I did something similar (- the camber plates and different shock/spring combo and awaiting MFactory diff). I can't compare it to a M car since I've never driven one, but on the right tires it's a totally different beast. You'll be much happier with it, especially if you have twisties nearby.

I forgot to mention I'll likely be using MFactory diff bushings since people have mentioned lower NVH with those. Also boost addictions large diff lockdown brace. |

Only thing I'd add is adjustable sway bar end links. HPA or Turner in front, Hotchkis in rear.
Also when you say aluminum subframe bushings, which ones in particular are you talking about? The Turner delrin/aluminum ones? |

Thats a great list.
With regards to the diff lockdown, search up user vwetish on n54tech, he sells some with a good price. I just ordered mine today |
