Question, I don't know much about active steering but i'm curious if it will work PROPERLY if I were to get coilovers.

I don't see why it wouldn't work properly.

ST JAMES

I'm not sure how active steering works at all but I know with coilovers suspension measurements will be way off from OEM. I'm not sure if active steering needs those oem measurements

KyleB

I'm pretty sure active steering operation is more dependent on vehicle speed than anything else. the only sensor that has anything to do with suspension ride height is tied into the headlights, and that's it.

I might not even get coilovers now. Thinking about a shock and spring combo. Maybe b12? But I haven't seen ANY reviews on it. I just see people bashing eibachs springs. The funny thing is the springs with the b12 kit is different than the regular pro kits. Spring rates are different. It's all preference though. I wish I could feel the set-up.

My first car (nissan) had no rubber bushings and coilovers. At the time I didn't mind it was fun. But this is a bimmer. I like how my sport suspension feels but one of my shocks is out.

Right now I have a set of OEM sport springs that I got from a forum member and Bilstein sport shocks. The OEM springs are linear rate and are a little too 'crashy' for my liking. I have a set of Eibach pro-kits (progressive rate) sitting in the garage that I'm going to put on the car sometime soon. I'll let you know what the results are. Ride quality is very subjective though. One person's 'too stiff' is another person's 'just right'. I'm guessing these Eibachs are going to give me a bit better ride than I have now.

I'd like to congratulate myself on reaching 1500 posts. Nice work KyleB.

Thanks, and congrats!
