Coilover allows much more flexiblity than just damper systems...like ride height and stiffness...

Better ask around for HK owner who have installed the system for real life comment... it is also depends on which area you live and where you usually drive to sum up for your decision...

I used to have PSS9 on my 335 and i live in HK side....and that was too stiff for my liking...

I heard Sachs are pretty good for HK road...might worth to look into as well.

Cheers,
Mike

Mike - thanks for that! Usually drive on Kowloon side, but are the roads on Kln / HKI that much different?? If i know of people who have it installed then for sure i would like to get their feedback. dont wanna fork out a load of the coilovers and find they are too stiff or not as good as i hoped!
