Same. I've run 3 sets of BCs. I don't mind the stiff ride and some ppl are more accustomed to it than others. But I know compared to other e90s and f30s I've driven or rode in, they are lacking in ride quality when compared to Bilstein or KW setups. Even my ST1s rode better than any BC setup I've ever had, and they're just entry level KWs.

Ordered B14 early in December. Got 4 different delay notices each one about 6 to 8 weeks additional every time. Was hoping that they would meet 5/20 ETA but received another delay notice pushing it to July 7th. Canceled my order with THMOTORSPORTS and just ordered some KW V1 from TunerStore on ebay. Sucks paying the additional 500 but at this point i only regret not going with KW in december. + I live in the north east so i feel better about the corrosion resistance that come with KW.
Probably wont bother buying anything bilstein after this experience as I feel they want to string you along so you don't cancel rather than just setting a real expectation upfront. Disappointed in THMOTORSPORTS as well since I think they could have been more transparent about the situation but they instead protected their own interest. |

It's not too harsh like I keep reading? I really want to get the B14s over the BC's. The lack of features are making a hard decision.

The ride is stiff but not harsh. At low speeds (10-20mph) it can feel stiff but once I get it on the highway it drives so well that I dont mind it at all. It soaks up the bumps / expansion joints on the freeway expertly and feels like you are on a premium product, which you are. The ride does not beat you up.

Very generous, thank you! I just hope they have enough drop. They should as I'm running 235/40/19 & 265/35/19 tires, slightly larger than stock. I want it right on the tires though.

EDIT: i should add that it was incredibly stiff with the coils all the way down. I wouldn't recommend it for everyday street use. Last edited by DieselSport; 05-26-2019 at 10:58 PM.. |
