Which suspension do you currently have...

[Laidback]

I came from Stock OEM suspension to Dinan S3 konis and i love the ride and smoothness= total package...

[Phiberglass]

I'm looking at KW coils, perhaps V1/V2. I may just go with springs/shocks for now though.

[Laidback]

I'm thinking of getting the KW V3 as i want to really lower the car more...you can't go wrong with either H&R are great springs...I'm looking at KW coils, perhaps V1/V2. I may just go with springs/shocks for now though.

Running Dinan Stage 3 with JRZ's. I love the suspension, but if you are thinking about LOTS of track time with the Beast, I would advise looking into coil overs. If you want street, canyon and track, its a great package.

I have the lift kit.

[Stack]

I'm on stock waiting for you guys to upgrade your suspension so I can buy your parts :)

G the JRZ's S3's you have and the Ra1's just keeps the e39 planted to the ground...Running Dinan Stage 3 with JRZ's.

How and what happened? I am leaning on getting KW's as LoLa wants to sit more ofter:DI went from stock to Dinan koni stage 3

Even had em replaced under warranty after putting 90k on em -parts and labor

[greenxeyezz]

so whats the benefit of springs/ coilovers / shocks as apposed to stock, BESIDES aesthetics ??

[Phiberglass]

austin, let me know when u wanna get the kw's =)...


Thanks Jo! I definitely will. Perhaps I'll get them as a christmas gift for myself :D We'll see.

[Laidback]

Adjustability and customization is the main reason people go with Coilovers...KW, H&R, GC and Bilsteins are one of the leaders for it...for me Dinan shocks and springs are one of the best set up i had but we'll see when i get the KW's

[Laidback]

KW V3 will arrive tomorrow and we'll see how low LoLa can go!:D

[MFIZZLENYC]

SO how low can you go ?

Just got monroe yellows- sturts and shocks. Tight as hell. Gives me a 3 inch perm lift.

Wound some rebar found on a construction site for some new spring action. Pretty stiff- in fact very stiff. Suspension hasn't moved down since install. Struts are at full extension- all the time. I went to adjust rebound. They aren't adjustable.

Car now has excessive understeer. Infact I can't turn at all.

Considering reversing my wheels to have 245 up back, with 275 up front as you guys love 275's up front?

[EM5PWR]

Dinan Stage 3 w/Konis

[Laidback]

Did you do your coilovers?

H&R Coilovers a bit stiff for girls.

[Laidback]

I wanna take a ride on yours and vice versa ans see the comparo between the KW and H&R's there is alot of talk about this but nothing really concrete between the two coilovers...H&R Coilovers a bit stiff for girls.

Went with Ground Control. Dan just drove her. The look on his face while taking sweepers then a few twisites I will never forget. The smiles afterwards said it all.

285 in back, 255 up front - no rubbing- shockingly fantastic.

Dinan/Koni Stage 2. The rear Konis were both shot at ≈ 70k miles...I could bounce the rear of the car up and down with virtually no resistance...BMS replaced them under warranty. The fronts still feel like new. I've just started to try to get a one-of-a-king coilover setup done for the M Coupe...stay tuned.

[whatheheck]

I drove Neil's (BMWMPWR) beast after GC installation and I tell you - it was awesome!!!!!

Ground Control is excellent!!!!!!!!! Highly recommended.

I heard great things about Dinan stage 3 too but after my Dinan customer service experience (really bad)- there will be no more Dinan parts in my beast.

Update: My Ground Control kit has arrived, waiting to be installed.

Waiting for Neil's final recommendation on optimal settings. Thanks Neil!

[BMWMPWR]

Picture meet Dano

If only the weather was better. I'm done with snow.

Thinkin about rebar in place of the rear sway bar. Just spot weld, no TC brackets. Use OEM brackets to hold er up while I weld, since I only have one hand.

It's so cold I'm losing my color up here. Much more of this, and I'll just become the Asian in Caucasian:rofl:

Nice Neil, the rear needs more:cool:

[BMWMPWR]

Thanks Chris, the rear is actually the same as the front, its just in this pic the rear wheel is in a sunken? Sinking part of a driveway, making it look like the rear has more gap.

I hope to meet up with Dan soon so we can take some more artistic pics of our beasts.

[Laidback]

I see it now:D did you adjust the camber ? if yes what settings are you on right now? it looks really tucked in:drool:Thanks Chris, the rear is actually the same as the front, its just in this pic the rear wheel is in a sunken? Sinking part of a driveway, making it look like the rear has more gap.
