Calling out to Xi drivers: with SonicTuning coilovers

M335Xi · 08-11-2014, 06:53 PM

I want see pics of the new design. I have been trying to order H&R coilovers but they are 8+ weeks behind on order. I might order these if they go lower than before.

Not much at all. It's what I was looking for. Only issue I have is trying to get rid of some suspension noises up front.

Suspension noises after coilover install?

Yea originally I had some noises because there was not enough pre-load on the springs, but the current noises are likely from the adjustable camber/pillow ball mounts or worn bushings. Haven't narrowed it down yet though. It's only up front though and I'm at 93k

Check few things.

- Make sure the bolts on the camber plate is tight.

- Load the springs about 1/8 of inch, so they dont move around.

- Check the endlink tension and the nuts. Make sure it's adjusted while the car is loaded.

Give us a call if you have any other questions regarding the suspension.

Anyone experienced, done any track time/auto x with these, just wondering how they will hold up to significant heat/work.

Thanks! I don't know if I can go much lower. I'm running 18" wheels. The ride is good, pretty stiff with it this low. It definitely rides better when the dampening is adjusted, but it seems to me its too bouncy almost, likely because of the spring rate.

I did take them to a track weekend earlier this year and they were phenomenal other than the limited travel.

To everyone with new version of these, note that you have to reuse the round spacer off of your factory suspension and add it on top of the new coilovers, this will help with the factory strut brace clearance I am having issue above and gap wont be as big as pictured above.

I am currently working with Ray from Sonic Tuning on a solution due to that there is still a small clearance issue.
