Need help on coilovers

drod3xi · 10-01-2011, 07:32 PM

I drive a 04 325xi , wondering which coilovers would be best for the xi. Have heard that lowering xi's might put to much pressure on front axels? Any suggestions?

Kw v1

I haven't gotten coils yet, but when I do I will be purchasing kw v1. There are alot people that say lowering will cause problems (which it will), but cars will have problems in general, modded or not. Just make sure you check cv.boots, axles and common wear areas when you can, like when you change your oil. If you catch things messing up early and end up spendinf $100 to fix it, its better than $1000. so lower it and keep an eye out.

id get the bilstein PSS coils, I would consider the PSS9 but only if you want dampening.
