not sure which KYB shocks those are.. I had the KYB AGX shocks on an older car, which are 4 way adjustable sport shocks. they rode fairly stiff iirc.

the springs say they are for 325, 328, 335 which worries me, because a 335i can be ~350 lbs heavier than a 325i, so the amount of drop will vary depending on what car those are installed on.

Also, you have an E93, which is even heavier than a regular RWD 335i (especially in the back). I think you need springs specifically made for an E93 or the car will sag in the rear.

Thx for input. I tried to delete thread, but couldn't. I have looked and think I will go with ST cool overs. kW for 50% more is just too much. I will never adjust more than 1x.
Cheers
