ac schnitzer springs
I have a 335d xdrive msport gt. So comfortable and indispensable to carry around our 3 kids in comfort and absolutely love it.
very stable at high speed BUT cornering needs improving as it kind of slides around roundabouts before regaining composure again(which I can live with but if a solution exists i have an open mind.) I have been wondering if the bouncy springs are to blame. see video Anyone who has changed springs or who has researched this please feedback. |

ACS springs now installed on my 335d GT
Car is still super comfortable. NO effect on comfort that I can feel. car now goes where I point it. That vagueness I had before is gone. Steering feels more precise as I know where I am going. Corners and roundabouts and sharp turns where the tyres would float about before at speeds over 30 miles I can handle confidently now. reduced body roll so paradoxically increased comfort! strangely car is quieter! The chatter that used to come presumably from the dampers is now gone! If the handling was 3-4/10 before I would say it is 7-8/10(10 being how i envisage perfect handling in a non linear path in wet/dry) My fellow GT owners Just get it! It turns a comfortable car to a comfortable and safer and dareisay fun car. Will post pics soon. |

so its been a month since I installed the springs and the control has improved even further.
There is a super sharp angled corner which i could only take at 30mph before which i can now at 60-70mph. The transformation is phenomenal and car feels safer and so planted and predictable. But the ride is crashier over surface imperfections but as stock on good or average. I am so content on spending on this upgrade. |
