F30 coilovers vs exhaust??

izaazk · 03-25-2017, 07:33 PM

This may be dumb...

Should I do I coilovers first or exhaust ???

I have catless DP and no resonator for now with JB4....

Stock suspension stock wheel

I found Lines Racing coilovers for $500 on eBay..... any good?

mbanks21 · 03-25-2017, 07:38 PM

You really gonna put $500 coilovers on your $50k BMW?

mike@x-ph.com · 03-25-2017, 07:39 PM

Whats more important to you sound or lowering the car?

I would not do cheap Ebay coilovers

izaazk · 03-25-2017, 10:55 PM

So the muffler wont do much in terms of performance??

and okay I might just look into springs then... if that will help ALOT with the stupid body roll and floppy feel when driving over really bumpy roads

First, HUGE THANKS MIKE for shipping out the black ER CP fast.

OP, if it was me would go with high quality dual adjustable shock / coil-overs. The exhaust won't really do much in performance. If you don't have the electronic nanny for your suspension, going adjustable dampers/shocks allows you to make the suspension soft for the street, and then tune/adjust it harder for track use. Yes they can cost a bit more than cheapies or 'basic' shocks, yet once you use them you'll know where your money went.

Go with coilovers first and lower your car. It will change the appearance and you'll have better handling probably depending on which set you get.
If you want some cheap yet reliable coilovers look in BC coilovers. They are really nice set and many good reviews on them. KWs are awesome just a little more pricey but you can browse the classified section and find you a good, used set of KW V1 for a good price.

The best thing I've added to my car are the KW v1 Coilovers. But exhausts are fun too.

Speaking of coilovers....what are the good options for electronic coilovers that can be changed from the cabin?

2015 335xi M Sport.

xxxjecxxx2 · 04-07-2017, 03:01 PM

Try to find a used set of BC coilovers for that price range.

I don't think sell them for the F30. At least it doesn't look like it.

Is a resonator delete more efficient than a muffler delete?

Neither is efficient. After the cat it's just noise

Check out gen 7 fortune auto 500 coilovers. 1375 shipped with camber plates. It's what I'm buying.....

Ownnij · 08-10-2019, 06:16 PM

dang these questions are so vague.. like we're suppose to know what you're trying to do with your car and whats practical to your life style. do you get an exhaust??? which will make your car loud as shit or do you get a crap suspension and live that low life with ride quality that will make your girlfriends boobies bounce non-stop. If i had to choose between those two.. exhaust system that would be the way to go!

FallenRainDrops · 08-15-2019, 11:35 AM

since youre catless DP and res deleted already , go with coilovers
