Im pretty sure I want to do this, but my main concern is too stiff of a ride, as it has to be wife and baby approved. Wife is fine with a sporty feel, but can't be as harsh as a 'true sports car" if that makes sense. Would you say it's simply more athletic or is it noticeably harsher over bumps?

I drove a loaner home today. A 328i coupe and the road noise seemed a little less than this new suspension so I feel the trade of is worth it. If you're spouse doesn't mind sporty then she most likely wont mind this upgrade. But also consider that if you live in a rutted area with lots or road imperfections, it might wear on you. Is sunny San Diego, the roads only suck because of differed maintainence. But generally they are pretty good. So driving with this set up is good for the most part. Hope this helps and sorry for typos iPhone published |

Back from dealer today. Brake issue resolved with coding and another brake flush. Seems the old fashioned way wasn't sufficient to remove all the air from the lines. The correct way is to use a vacuum to draw the fluid through the system to purge the air. The brakes are much improved and feel more capable then the previous set (probably just plecebo but hey I'm happy).
The suspension is a lot of fun. Makes me want to push the car. Sorry that I didn't get an opportunity to get more photos up. Ill try again tomorrow. Thanks for the compliments and interest. James P.s. Thanks to Shivas for being such a gracious ginea pig (spelling?) risking a lot to help us all. You too Bchips. Thanks ! Last edited by jamesems; 01-30-2013 at 12:11 AM.. |

Here for the boards...ill do the same for the PPK too :-) I'm surprised your wives noticed, mine hasn't, nor have I told her-the fact that she sneaks off with the car is proof in the pudding. Of course getting stuck with the RDX kind of sux.
