BMW E92 Coilovers???
Hi I've recently bought an E92 335d and am loving it. I'm looking at putting it on coil overs and was wondering if anyone else has done so and can suggest what ones to use thanks

You can get Bilstein b14's and KW v1s for about £800 and v2's about £1100.
I've just ordered v1's. I was going for Bilsteins then changed my mind as the KW's are supposedly a little more comfortable for a DD. I only do a few track days a year. I have used BC coilovers before (not on a BMW) and really liked them, fantastic Value for money. I only had them on the car for approx 7000 miles so cant vouch for their longevity though. |

Will do.
I ordered last Friday so should be here Wednesday. Hoping to get it fitted by the end of the week. So will post a short review. I ordered mine through AMD essex. So if you local to them they do some decent prices if not.... http://www.motorsportworld.co.uk/ They have v1's Inox for £845 +p&p http://www.dcperformance.co.uk/ I wouldn't rule out the Bilsteins as according to the reviews they perform better, being mono-tube gas filled. But have a higher spring rate, which i doubt would be suitable for British roads?? KW do supposedly have excellent customer service and a good lifetime warranty on all kits purchased via an authorised reseller. |
