Come meet us on this Saturday Grand TT and we will show you our E90 with lowered springs. I have mine with Eibach and some are with KW V2 too. So meet us on this Saturday and I can even give you a ride on my car to feel it

 

[paulpaul2]

thanks DY but i cant make it this TT because i will be at seremban and i just install kw2 coilover on my car, its feel good,cheers dude

 

[David Yong]

Good choice on the KW V2! Heard a lot of good reviews on this colover on our E90s.

 

[paulpaul2]

that's its a really good choice of KW2 , soft , good handling,no hit bump..that's fill all my requirement. NO REGRET

 

[David Yong]

Yeah, actually the eibach pro-kit is also very good and I am sure it will meet your requirements. Price wise is much more cheaper. Anyway, you have made a good choice on KW V2 coilover.

 

[paulpaul2]

cos i afraid if only change the spring later need replace the absorber again so " one time sakit " la....haha

KW V2s are a good choice.. THen again I am biased .

What height and ride settings are you on? BTW, give it about 500kms to settle and then send back for finetuning on ride and height. It should soften up a little after about 1-2 weeks.

i plan to lowered my car also, any advise bro??? H&R or Eibach???

 

[kanos]

Bro i got Eibach pro kit for my ride, slammed the car about 30mm, quite low ride since my shoes are 18" so ok lah..but if urs are 19" or above better go for adjustable one or H&R. Mine one have to drive slow over speed bum kalau tak kena lah skirt..

If you have the extra $$$, go for adjustables. It'll save you $$$ in the long run especially if you plan to change rims, add bodykit etc. in the future. Imagine if you changed from 18" to 20" in the future and the tires are scraping your fenders. With adjustables you can just change the height of your car but if you're using lowered springs only, you'll have to change the whole setup again.

If you do get adjustables, make sure you get those with damper settings as well. That way you can put the damper setting softer for a more comfortable ride. I have mine set at the hardest. Why? Because I'm an idiot and I love getting thrown around in the car while driving along our deplorable highways.

Personally, adjustables is the best investment I've ever made for my car ever, period.

P.S (Sorry to drop in on the E90 disccusion, just thought I should share my views )

Good advice bro :top:

Try the Bilstein Ride Control. Miles of better than the KWV2 > U could adjust the rides by pressing the button in the cockpit. Sakit sekali. But worth trying. When u put soft ,it is so comfortable and u press hard it harden immediately. I Got mine in Autofuturedesign in Damansara Utama. Check it out. They are the Bilstein Distributor.

 

[astroboy]

Berapa lui? Aiyaa... Banned pulak.. nevermind...Autofuture is just opposite my house..

I believe the Bilstein Ride Controls use the same springs and adjustable shocks as the B16 PSS9, but with an electrical module for in car soft and sport adjustment. Its just Soft and Sport (ie. 2 settings) button and non variable damping via a dial in the cockpit which is a real pity. Anyway, overall performance should be similar to the PSS9 due to the same physical hardware used. Should go for about RM10+k here I think.
