WHAT TO GET FOR SUSPENSION? 07' 328i PRE-LCI
Really need some help on this..
I have an 07 328i - the vin decoder shows "m sport suspension" but i'm pretty sure this is the standard suspension regardless.. I have been looking at both coilover and cup kits.. most recently looking at the Koni Sport Cup Kit - includes Koni Sport Shocks & H&R Lowering Springs... Apparently lowers the vehicle 1.4'' front and 0.8'' rear which seems plausible as the back end does appear much lower than front ugh.. What do you guys think? Anyone have experience with this kit?What did you guys buy for suspension?? FYI: running 235/40/R18 front and 245/40/18 rear |

I believe e92 came standard with sport suspension, at least in the US.

I just installed the Koni kit last week on my 2010 335i Coupe. Car originally had the sport suspension. The kit came with Koni yellow shocks and struts plus the H&R lowering springs. It was fantastic. I could feel the difference immediately. Even before out of the parking lot. My face wore a grin. Steering response is tighter. Less roll in the turns. It slightly lowers the car and the one person that noticed that thought it looked better.
Now the problem is I can't just slide my AC jack under the car to lift it up. I have to drive on boards, haha. Great upgrade, glad I did it.

I installed Bilstein PSS B14s (coilovers) about a month and 1/2 ago and I can't be happier with the choice. After doing the install myself and taking it for proper alignment, the feels so good now, is pretty forgiving for daily driving it while very sporty and steering resposive when you want it. I didn't went for the full drop, I'm kinda in the middle of the height adjustment and I think but cannot prove that the drop was of about 1 1/2" front and 1" rear. Wheels does not go behind the fenders and I'm running 18" 225 F & 255 R (width).
