KSport Coilovers - Another Review
#12
At least Melvin made an impact on the installation. . Me? Seem to recall walking around, feeling out of place and getting in the way, added to the cluter of taking heads and snatched a corona off your stash.
Nice drop bro , cant wait until I get that 'feels like a new car' warm and fuizzy ...when my stock suspension needs replacing.
You lot are a 'bad influence' b/c I m done with modding .....It was nice to meet you guys nonetheless

My Ride: '05 545i SMG, 35% Tint, LED Angel Eyes
Thanks for all the 's fellas!
So, day 3 of riding on KSports and I am noticing that they are settling in nicely. I drove it into work today on purpose (I usually take the train in) just to test out all the rough spots on the freeway to compare to the stock setup. All the bouncy/floaty spots on my commute route were gobbled up with ease and compliancy. Aside from the great ride, I must have gotten a dozen looks on the way.
If anyone is thinking Eibach/Bilstein/Koni combo upgrades or KW/JIC set up, you should definitely contemplate this set up and save a lot of $$$ in the process.

Your car is still relatively new so hopefully you will get lot more miles out of your stock suspension. You didn't need to feel out of place, we are all one in the common interest of caring what we drive.
This forum is definitely hazardess to your wallet's health!!! And yet, I find it hard to stay away.

The fronts are settling a bit more as drive now so I have to go home and adjust the passenger side a bit lower so that it evens out.
I speak from experience when I say, although it isn't back-breaking work, the install takes quite a bit of brawn and brains. Not to mention proper tools. I was quoted a good amount of $$$ for the install even from an indy shop which works on BMWs all the time. John is more than justified in charging a nominal fee for the install. In fact, I was so grateful that he helped out on mine, I told him I was indebted and he had to let me do something for him in return. John will never tell but he knows what I am talking about! Make no mistake, I WILL hook a brother up the first chance I get!!!
My garage is your garage John. Thanks again.
