Hi cnt.... so how was the SACHS experience? looks like I missed out on a great meet!!!

The one on their demo car was just the sport version without adjustability right? How did it compare with your PSS9?

I will talk to Valiant directly for more techincal assistance, but I jsut wanted your 1st hand expericence with the suspensions.. thanks for all your help...

By the way.. if you are able to stumble upon any of your friends using this one, please.. let me know.. thanks!!

Yes, there is no better experience than to drive a E90 with the SACHS Coilover designed for E90. The ride is very impressive. It was felt very firm when I was making some very quick and sharp turns in the parking lot. When on the road, over the bumps and rough roads, there were much less harshness like the Pss9 nor the BMW Sport suspension. I must say, the SACHS are more suitable for the bumpy roads in Hong Kong.

The SACHS Coilover we tested has 20 settings (the Pss9 has only 9) of shocks stiffness. The first run was set to F11/R13; and the second run was set to F8/R13 which made the ride slightly firmer without any significant adverse impact to ride quality. This is a major advantage over the Pss9's limited settings. (You can adjust the knobs for front wheels by hands without any tools)

Most important, with the SACHS improved ride quality, the BMW is felt like a better quality performance sports car that even the steering sharpness has improved.

I have been riding on a 325i E90 installed with the regular SACHS Shocks and Springs, trust me, it is nothing any closer to the SACHS Coilover! You will love it.

BMW 7 series was using SACHS as OEM supplier, I guess SACHS really "knows" BMW cars!

I'll probably be the first to go for it.

t
p.s.
The lists of participants of the test drive the SACHS Coilover are very happy
