suspension options? Callin XI Guys
Ok, i dont want to spend a dump load, although that seems impossible with these cars, but I want lowered, slightly more aggressive appearence, nothing for the track... what are my options?
Kw3($$$), H&R, Cross Competition, Eibach??? Whats the difference in handling, performance between just springs vs. coil overs? http://www.jlevistreetwerks.com/BMW-...duct_info.html http://www.jlevistreetwerks.com/BMW-...duct_info.html http://www.jlevistreetwerks.com/BMW-...duct_info.html these are what I am looking at... any input? |

I'd go with H&R if you arent going to do the V3's. But you may have to replace your shocks sooner than later. I was in a similiar situation, but just pulled the trigger on the KW V3's. Suspension is one thing I can't see myself compromising since I drive quite a bit. Good luck with whatever you decide

yeah- let me know. i'm also looking for a set. the height of xi's models are disgusting.
i want something thats inexpensive and thats not going hinder the suspension or hurt the driving quality we already have. i'm not planning on tracking either- this is my dd. |

You get what you pay for. I started just like you, same mentality, but, after countless hours of research and reading about the different suspension options I came to the conclussion that even if I don't track the car I still want the quality of a product to match the BMW quality. I was not about to sacrifice the handling attributes of my car for the sake of looks. I wanted something better than stock, and for that you have to pay. So... I went ahead and got the V3's. Now I am only waiting on the snow to melt to get them installed. Maybe in a few weeks they will be installed. Good luck with your decision and I hope I was of some help to you.

The V3's are not "fully" adjustable, in that the minimum lowering is around 3/4". You can't get back to stock height, but you can get within about 3/4" of it, which is where I plan to keep mine all year round.
