After 9 years of ownership finally the car is getting its upgrade.
ST Suspension STXA Coilover Kit and M Performance Brake kit was chosen for the upgrade.
As you know M Performance brake kit doesn't come with rear discs so, why not get something better with a tiny bit of extra cost. Brembo high carbon rear disc was then chosen.
For this set of STXA suspension, height and rebound damping can be adjusted.
There's 16 levels of damping and the initial set up was 9 clicks open.
As shown in photos, oem top mounts and swing arms were also changed since the old bushings were all torn out...
The first drive after installing the brakes and the coilovers was so much better than before. During the first 90 degrees turn on road the car already feels completely different. I will never say there is no body roll at all but its significantly less than stock suspension. Current rebound damping settings can easily handle everyday use and it does't feel over stiff at all.
Brakes feels much stronger too comparing to stock one pistons brakes. Car stops in a more linear motion as well when braking.

hello. I'm doing this upgrade on my BMW F32. I have some questions if you can help me.
-Are the discs and calipers exchanged directly and applied to the same fittings or is any change necessary? -Are the oil pipes changed or are the same ones that were in the car used?
-The dust covers (disc reflectors), need to be changed? Or are they the same as the originals, with the same measurements as they came from?

Thank you, Sérgio Esteves, from Portugal
