What coilovers for 340i

kBrazy · 11-02-2022, 01:15 AM

I was going to replace my rear suspension because it was damaged. I have the aerodynamics package, m sport suspension, etc.

I might just go ahead and spend $1500 on some coil overs to lower the car and make it feel better since I was going to do it eventually. Any links or advice on what to do, or what coilovers to pick?

KW V1

I can highly recommend KW Street Comfort coilovers. They are basically KW V2 but with milder drop.

I think the KW V1 would be good

It depends on what you are looking for, if its a daily driver with no track use, you cant go wrong with the V1

Do you have any specific suspension improvement goals?

Budget - including installation + 4 wheel alignment?

How does the V1 perform when on track? Is it really unacceptable? Couldn't be worse than stock on the track.

If you are on track to have fun, the V1 is fine.

If you are a novice track user trying to get the best time, you should invest on the V2 or V3

Honestly, I might just lower the car in some lowering springs, such as the H&R sport springs. I was thinking about it more and I'm not to sure if i want to spend close to 2k on coils when I could just get the same look much cheaper. I'm not really into handling as much, but I know the springs arent bad.

I suggest to search this forum for threads where H&R springs are mentioned before making the purchase.
