Coil Over Suggestings

I have a 2008 328i sedan, right now it’s on billstein b6 suspension, it is aftermarket but does not lower the ride height (it came with the car when i bought it), i don’t know if springs for stock e90 suspension would fit and after helping my friend install his lowering springs on his g35 i’d rather get coil overs rather than going through the troubles of installing springs. My price range is anything below 600, i’ve found a few but i’m looking for the absolute best bang for my buck, the lower the price the better. Thank You

you are going to get trash if you pay below $600 for coils.

Honestly I think that you'd get absolute crap for anything under $800. I'd just save a bit more if I were you.

I'm pretty close to pulling the trigger on ST coilovers. Great quality I've heard for a great price of around $800. They're essentially the same as KW V1's. Since you live in Delaware then it's probably a good idea to get some KW V1's. They have really great reviews across the forums.

I run ST on my 2007 E90, set to the perfect height. Love them.

Turner had a sale earlier this year - ST for $746. I got a set for my E36.

Solowerks S1’s are also another option. I haven’t installed them yet but just got some for $600 since my Koni FSD were pretty much shot.
