Suspension help! F31 328i xdrive

iamkjoe · 08-29-2022, 03:39 PM

So bought a used F31 and the shock assembly snapped on a pothole. It had Megan racing coilovers but looking to get a different set. I was told ST Coilovers were good but do these fit? https://www.fitmentindustries.com/st...&trim=Base

The one they suggested was https://www.ecstuning.com/b-kw-suspe...g/102200ab~kw/.

Using it more as a daily driver and I have a newborn so looking for something comfortable and aesthetically pleasing.

Did you have a chance to take a look at KW Street Comfort coilovers? For daily driving, these coilovers are a very good choice.

Ironically, my car encountered a pothole in La Jolla just a few days ago. Pothole = 1, Pirelli P Zero run flat tire = 0. The score could have been predicted with 100% certainty. I reported the pothole to San Diego via mobile app. What surprised me the most: received an email that it was fixed.

Mine was at Sorrento Valley so I feel your pain. I'll look into the KW Street Comforts! Thanks!

Couldn't recommend bilstein b6/8 with Eibach pro kit more. Really enjoyable and keeps OEM+

One of the more informative threads about Koni Special Active shocks and Eibach Pro springs:

Search for posts by johnung who has been providing valuable advice for some time.

Coilovers provide one big advantage over aftermarket / spring combination: the ability to tune suspension height if the initial setting is unsatisfactory.
